St Peter's Primary School
South Croydon, CR2 7AR · Croydon · primary school
27th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.4/10 against 4,277 of them, against 8.0/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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, 77.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 13.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2025. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Rosie's Art Club, Spanish Club, Splash Brush, BB Soccer, Netball Club, Premier Education Athletics, Premier Education Tennis, PLAYBALL, and Keepie Uppie. Year 4 and Year 6 students go on residential trips. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 417 pupils in a capacity of 420 places, leaving just 3 spare spots. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for the remaining 3 places? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How does the after-school club operate on days with residential trips?
