Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Greek Orthodox
2.6/10 Below average

74th 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 3,952 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.2/10 among them, against 3.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 51.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in July 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.2 out of 10 among them, against 3.8 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the School Council and participate in the choir, Nativity shows, end-of-year concerts, and Rocksteady performances. The school offers a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. With 275 pupils enrolled against a capacity of 446, there are 171 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school plan to improve attainment in reading, writing, and maths following the 2024 inspection? What specific support is available for pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main curriculum?
