About Pratts Bottom Primary School

Pratts Bottom Primary School is a small state primary in Bromley with just 69 pupils, and its headline Key Stage 2 results sit slightly below the local authority average for the area. In the 2023/24 academic year, 67% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Bromley average of 69%. That puts the school in 39th place out of 76 primary schools in the borough, placing it just inside the top half. The gap is narrow, but it’s worth noting that the school’s reading and maths average scores — 109 and 106 respectively — are solid, and the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in reading and maths is 42% in both subjects, which is respectable for a school of this size. The school is oversubscribed: for 2025/26, it received 29 applications for just 8 places, with all first-preference families offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.63.
