Open days for September 2024 enrolment have begun, so you might be thinking about which primary school would be best for your child.

Ofsted inspects and regulates schools, colleges, and childcare providers all over the country.

It evaluates the qualities of education and service to ensure they reach a certain standard.

Ofsted uses a four-point scale to rate and assess, with the top-tier being outstanding, followed by good, requires improvement, and then inadequate.

In Croydon, there are no schools currently rated inadequate.

We have listed the highest and lowest-rated primary schools in Croydon based on Ofsted ratings.

We reached out to lower-rated schools for comment but didn't hear anything back.

We have also included the date the school was most recently inspected, as it is important to note that some schools have not been inspected in several years.
