Greenvale Primary School
South Croydon, CR2 8PR · Croydon · primary school
23rd of 77 primary schools in Croydon we can score, 87 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,485 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.6/10 among them, against 8.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 19.0 · 90 | 25% | 2.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 19.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.6 out of 10 among them, against 8.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join a breakfast club, an after-school club, and a trampolining group.
Getting in. The school has 216 pupils in a capacity of 218 places, leaving only 2 spare spots. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 2 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list if a spot opens up mid-year? Since the similar-intake comparison shows a lower score than the national average, what specific support is in place to help pupils reach the higher standard? How does the breakfast club operate on days when the school is at full capacity?
