About Parish Church of England Primary School
Parish Church of England Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 163 applications for just 70 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.33. Of those applications, 61 were first-preference offers, meaning the vast majority of successful families had it as their top choice.

The school is a state-funded Church of England primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, located in the London borough of Bromley. With 584 pupils on roll against a capacity of 630, it is nearly full, which reinforces its standing in the area.
