St Bartholomew's Catholic Primary School, Swanley
About St Bartholomew's Catholic Primary School, Swanley
St Bartholomew's Catholic Primary School in Swanley is a state-funded mixed primary for children aged 5 to 11, with a school capacity of 345 pupils. Its religious character as a Roman Catholic school shapes its intake, and the school is led by headteacher Giovanna McRae. In terms of demand, the school's admission information does not indicate whether it is oversubscribed, so it is unclear how competitive places are. For context on the local demographic, the school's free school meal percentage is not provided in the data, making it difficult to compare directly with the national average or the local authority's profile. However, the school sits within the Kent local authority, which has 459 primary schools of the same type, of which 54 are rated Outstanding by Ofsted. This suggests a competitive landscape for primary education in the area, though St Bartholomew's holds a solid Good rating from its most recent inspection in 2022.
