About Raglan Primary School

Raglan Primary School in Bromley is a state-funded mixed primary for children aged 2 to 11, and it is clearly a popular choice locally. The school currently has 456 pupils on roll, exceeding its official capacity of 420, which suggests it is operating above its intended size. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 161 applications for just 59 places, with 61 of those coming as first preferences. That works out at roughly 2.7 applications per place, and only 57 first-preference families received an offer. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 8.6%, which is notably lower than the national primary average of around 23%, indicating a relatively affluent catchment. The school has no religious character and offers nursery provision for children from age 2, making it a straightforward option for families seeking a non-denominational start.
