About Warren Road Primary School

Warren Road Primary School sits within the London Borough of Bromley, a local authority with 76 primary schools, 23 of which hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school itself ranks 14th out of 69 Bromley primaries on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the top 10% of schools locally. Its closest high-performing peers include St James' Roman Catholic Primary School, La Fontaine Academy and Downe Primary School, all of which score slightly higher on the same ranking metric. Warren Road is a large, mixed, non-denominational state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with headteacher James Ellis at the helm. It is operating at full capacity with 840 pupils on roll, and just 2.3% of children qualify for free school meals, a figure well below the national average. The school was last inspected by Ofsted in December 2022, when it was judged Outstanding across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. Its previous inspection, back in 2008, also awarded the top grade.
