About St Peter and St Paul Catholic Primary School

St Peter and Paul Catholic Primary School in Bromley is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 3 to 11, with a Roman Catholic character. It currently has 231 pupils on roll, exceeding its official capacity of 210, which suggests the school is operating at full stretch. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 17.8%, a figure worth noting against the national primary average of around 23% — so the school draws from a slightly less disadvantaged intake than the national norm. Demand is clearly strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 71 applications for just 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.37. Of those, 35 were first-preference applications, and 29 first-preference offers were made, meaning almost all first-preference families secured a place. The school is led by headteacher Kirsty Everson and was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in 2017, with a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirming it remains Good.
