Bromley allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance.

The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 47% of pupils at Glebe School are eligible for free school meals, above the national average of around 24%. This reflects the school's role in a higher-deprivation area of West Wickham.
