About Valley Primary School
Valley Primary School in Bromley holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent ungraded inspection in March 2024, which confirmed the school remains Good. That overall rating is backed by some strong academic numbers. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 88% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the Bromley local authority average of 69%. That figure places Valley 5th out of 69 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top 7% locally and the top 4% nationally. The school also performs strongly at the higher standard, with 31% of pupils achieving that level across all three subjects. Reading and maths average scores both sit at 112, comfortably above the national benchmark of 100.
