About Orion Mead Road

Orion Mead Road is a small state primary in Bromley, taking children from age 4 to 7, and it is currently home to 79 pupils against a capacity of 90. That leaves a little breathing room, but the school is clearly in high demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 145 applications for just 29 places, with 27 of those going to first-preference families. The oversubscription ratio sits at five applications per place, which tells you this is a school local families are keen to get into. Just 6.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well below the national average, and the school’s religious character is listed as ‘does not apply’. The headteacher is Ruth De Graft Incoom, and the school is non-denominational, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
