Chislehurst School for Girls: 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, 210 families put Chislehurst School for Girls as their first choice and 938 named it as one of their preferences, for 241 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 74 in 2021 to 210 in 2026, while places went from 221 to 241.
45% of applications came from families living in another council area.
Across Bromley, 66% of families were offered their first-choice secondary school for 2026 entry, and 93% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Bromley lodged 128 appeals against secondary school offers; 103 reached a hearing and 10 succeeded (9.7% of those heard).
