Upton Primary School

About Upton Primary School

Upton Primary School is a state-funded, mixed primary for ages 3 to 11 in Bexley, London, and it is effectively full. With 452 pupils against a capacity of 455, there is almost no slack in its intake. The school’s percentage of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 5.2%, well below the national average for primary schools, which typically sits around 23-24%. This suggests a relatively affluent local catchment. Demand is exceptionally high: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 250 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.17. Of those, 88 were first-preference applications, and only 59 first-preference offers were made, meaning even families who listed Upton as their top choice faced stiff competition. The school is non-religious, with a nursery provision attached, and is led by headteacher April Robinson.
