Bromley has 120 schools - 76 primary and 19 secondary - spread across a mix of towns and areas.

The largest concentrations sit around Orpington, Bromley and Beckenham, which together account for a meaningful share of the council's pupil places.

Selective schools are part of the mix in Bromley - for those applying to grammar schools, a selective admissions test is required in addition to the standard admissions process.
