The school is strict but maybe this is needed. Our child has only had one supply for one lesson also so really pleased with the staffing. Our child is enjoying school and is happy to attend. *(Oct 2023)* - **1/5** — Good for learning , Bad for mental health: This school makes it seem like they care about you and they care about your mental health but it’s all just bullshit. the learning is perfect and the teachers are supportive towards your learning but apart from that, i would not really recommend Ravensbourne for your child.

Passionate teachers and pastoral care is incredible. Reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is they need to make sure they are supporting the children that sit in the middle a little bit more.Not just supporting those high and really low. If bullying occurs it is dealt with very quickly. Also would like to see more clubs for girls but will feed t… *(Apr 2023)* - **5/5** — Holistic Education with a Friendly Atmosphere: I was so impressed with The Ravensbourne School's welcoming approach from the moment we visited.

The facilities are amazing, and the teachers are passionate and supportive. I love how the school focuses on the whole child, developing not just academic excellence but also character and leadership skills. We feel like we've found a true home here! *(Jun 2022)* - **1/5** — Very bad: Very very very very bad *(Apr 2022)* ## Other schools in Bromley - [Bishop Justus CofE School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bromley/bishop-justus-cofe-school-12184) — 1.7/5 (22 reviews) - [Bullers Wood School for Boys](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bromley/bullers-wood-school-for-boys-19842) — 2.5/5 (8 reviews) - [Downderry Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bromley/downderry-primary-school-477) — 2.6/5 (6 reviews) - [Raglan Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bromley/raglan-primary-school-15108) — 4.4/5 (5 reviews) - [Parish Church of England Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bromley/parish-church-of-england-primary-school-15022) — 4.2/5 (5 reviews) - [Southborough Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bromley/southborough-primary-school-24427) — 3.5/5 (5 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
