43rd 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.7/10 against 1,435 of them, against 6.2/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Tudor Academy
Overview
This ungraded inspection indicates that Tudor Academy’s work “may have improved significantly across all areas” since its previous inspection, prompting a future graded review. The school is described as a “creative, caring and safe place” where pupils achieve highly and produce “excellent work” driven by teachers’ “high expectations.”
Strengths
- The curriculum is “highly ambitious,” carefully designed to ensure pupils cultivate a “strong body of knowledge” that prepares them well for later learning.
- Teachers explain concepts clearly, providing “powerful examples linked to prior learning” and checking understanding to correct misunderstandings effectively.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are “swiftly identified” and receive effective support to access the same curriculum as their peers.
- Behaviour is “excellent,” supported by an “exceptionally strong approach to the pastoral care of pupils” that helps them regulate their feelings independently.
- Staff feel “well supported to develop professionally,” with leaders being “considerate of staff workload and well-being.”
Areas to improve
