Brampton Primary Academy: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 42 families put Brampton Primary Academy as their first choice and 192 named it as one of their preferences, for 48 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
First-choice demand has risen from 35 in 2021 to 42 in 2026, while places went from 46 to 48.
Across Bexley, 91% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 98% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Bexley lodged 11 appeals against primary school offers; 8 reached a hearing and none succeeded.
