Bromley school admissions for parents
Bromley publishes separate September 2026 pages for primary and secondary applications, then handles appeals through a borough-wide guidance page. The most important detail is that Bromley says all schools and academies are their own admission authorities, so appeal paperwork goes directly to the school.
Primary September 2026 round
Bromley residents who applied on time for Reception received offers after 5pm on 16 April 2026. The on-time primary closing date was 15 January 2026 and the deadline to accept or refuse the offer was 30 April 2026.
Secondary September 2026 round
Bromley residents who applied on time for Year 7 received offers after 5pm on 2 March 2026. The on-time secondary closing date was 31 October 2025 and the deadline to accept or refuse the offer was 16 March 2026.
Supplementary forms
Bromley says some schools require a Supplementary Information Form and that these must be returned to the school by the application closing date. A SIF does not replace the main eAdmissions application.
Appeals go direct to schools
Because Bromley says all its schools and academies are their own admission authorities, parents need to lodge an appeal directly with the relevant school rather than with the council. You can appeal for any school named on your application that refused a place.
Grammar-school appeals
Bromley distinguishes between allocation appeals for children assessed as grammar who were refused a place, and assessment appeals for children assessed as non-grammar whose parents believe they are of grammar ability.
