Working With Us

Our oversubscribed two-form entry Academy opened in September 2015 to provide high quality primary places for local families. We believe that every child is unique and that each deserves the opportunity to be happy, feel valued and experience success. OFSTED recognised the hard work and dedication of our staff and graded us Outstanding in 2018.

We are part of a Federation of schools with an established track record in Bromley and across London. Our staff team is committed to ensuring that all our children access the highest quality education in a safe and nurturing environment.

We believe that all children can achieve and know that it is our job as educators to do everything possible to enable children to reach their potential. We are lucky to have a bright, modern and welcoming building for our school community. We are situated in a green and leafy area, with Kelsey Park opposite us and numerous transport links from Bromley and Beckenham Junction.

We invite you to visit our website for images of the school and to view past newsletters which showcase our amazing teaching.
