Primary schools in Bexley

The admission number given for each school is the maximum number of pupils who will be admitted to reception classes of primary and infant schools or Year 3 of junior schools.

The London Borough of Bexley may consult on and make decisions about the expansion of primary schools before September 2026. Such decisions would override the admission numbers shown. The numbers in the left-hand column of the school list correspond with those showing the location of the schools on the map.

The number of first to sixth preferences for admission in the 2025/26 school year is shown for each school. This information has been included for guidance. Parents should not assume that the number of preferences for the coming year will necessarily be similar to the number this year.

The type of school, eg community, voluntary aided, Academy, free school, is correct at the time of publishing (August 2025), but community and voluntary controlled schools may convert to Academy status before September 2026 and change their admission number or organisational arrangements.

Where a school has a nursery class, this is shown by ‘with nursery’ after the age range of the school.

Danson Primary School welcome message:

At Danson Primary, we believe that every child is unique, capable, and full of potential.  We are proud to offer a happy, warm, inclusive, and dynamic learning environment where academic excellence, creativity, and personal growth go hand in hand.

Our dedicated staff are passionate about high-quality teaching and learning. We set high expectations for all, encouraging children to be curious, resilient, and reflective in everything they do.

Central to our success is an ambitious, carefully sequenced curriculum that challenges and excites our pupils. Designed to develop deep knowledge, essential skills, and a love of learning, our curriculum ensures that every child – regardless of their starting point – is given the opportunity to thrive and excel. Through a broad and enriched learning experience – from core subjects to the arts, sports, and outdoor education – we help our pupils discover their strengths and grow in confidence.

This was reaffirmed in our April 2025 Ofsted Inspection feedback that recognises that Danson may have significantly improved beyond good across all areas since its last inspection, with a full graded inspection to follow. They referenced:

  • Exceptional Learning Culture: Pupils are highly motivated, take pride in their learning, and attend school eagerly to avoid missing out. Behaviour is exemplary, with excellent conduct and strong, respectful relationships between staff and pupils
  • High Academic Achievement: Key Stage 2 outcomes in 2024 were strong across reading, writing, and mathematics. Pupils, including those with SEND, achieve highly across all subjects and are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage of education
  • Outstanding Reading Provision: A love of reading is embedded from Reception. Phonics is taught expertly, and older pupils engage deeply with complex texts, such as Macbeth, using sophisticated language in their writing
  • Ambitious, Well-Designed Curriculum: The curriculum is broad, expertly sequenced, and rich in subject knowledge. Pupils make secure connections across topics and use advanced vocabulary with confidence
  • Inclusive and Effective Support: Pupils with SEND are swiftly identified and fully included through high-quality teaching tailored to their needs
  • Inspirational Personal Development: The wider development programme is exemplary. Pupils build financial literacy, explore future careers, and learn vital life skills, including online safety
  • Strong Leadership and Staff Morale: School leaders and governors set high expectations. Staff feel well supported, valued, and proud to be part of the school’s ambitious and nurturing community

Beyond the classroom, we offer a rich variety of extracurricular activities, outdoor learning opportunities, and community engagement projects that help children develop confidence, compassion, and leadership skills.

At the heart of our school is a strong sense of community and partnership with families. We work closely with parents and carers to ensure that each child feels valued, safe, celebrated and empowered to succeed.

We are delighted to welcome prospective Reception children and their families to our upcoming Open Mornings and Afternoons – a wonderful opportunity to step into the heart of our school and experience the vibrant rhythm of daily life at Danson. As you walk through our classrooms, you'll witness first-hand the joy of learning, the care in every interaction, and the rich, inspiring education that our children receive every day.

We warmly invite you to become part of the Danson family – a place where every child is cherished, championed, and empowered to dream boldly, grow confidently, and achieve their very best.
