About Orion Blenheim

Orion Blenheim is a state primary in Bromley that serves a notably diverse intake. With 205 pupils against a capacity of 210, the school is essentially full, and the demand is clear: for the 2025/26 reception intake, there were 46 applications for just 16 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.88. Only 10 first-preference offers were made, so securing a spot is competitive. The school’s 42% pupil premium rate is significantly higher than the national primary average, which sits around 23-24%, indicating a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. This context matters when looking at the school’s results and Ofsted journey. The school is non-religious and co-educational, taking children from age 2 through to 11, with nursery provision on site. Headteacher Ruth De Graft Incoom leads a team that has overseen a clear improvement trajectory, moving from a Requires Improvement rating in 2012 to a Good rating in its most recent graded inspection.
