About Perry Hall Primary School

Perry Hall Primary School in Bromley is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 5 to 11, and it is effectively full. The school has 437 pupils on roll against a capacity of 436, which is a clear sign of local demand. That demand is backed up by the numbers: for the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 406 total applications for just 59 places, with 125 of those coming as first preferences. Only 57 first-preference offers were made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 6.88 applicants per place. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 8%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. The school has no religious character and no nursery provision, so it draws families from the immediate area who are looking for a strong local option. Headteacher Lorraine Richards leads a school that has clearly built a reputation strong enough to generate significant competition for places.
