Against London and Croydon
Track: London's middle 80% (10th to 90th percentile); L = London median; C = Croydon median, shown when 10 or more of its schools have a figure; the dot is this school.
London state schools in Close Knit with a published figure, same phase (primary or secondary) and year; the borough median only when 10 or more of its schools have one. 10th, 50th and 90th percentiles with linear interpolation (PostgreSQL percentile_cont).
Colour only where lower or higher is clearly better (absence: lower): blue = better than the London median, red = in London's worst 10%.
Money: Compared only with academies' accounts (AAR), same academic year.
Results
England rank: Key stage 2: % of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths; ties broken by % at the higher standard. England's state-funded mainstream schools with a published figure that year (suppressed or missing figures are left out); equal figures share a rank; top % = rank ÷ schools × 100, rounded up.
Against London: London state primaries, same year, cohort 30+, suppressed figures left out. Steps: the score out of 10 against London (10 = top 10%).

Getting in
Got in = first-choice families offered a place on national offer day ÷ families who put the school first. Putting a school first gives no priority: siblings and distance decide.
First-choice applications not offered a place on national offer day: 100 × (1 − first-preference offers ÷ first preferences). Applications count preferences, not children; places can still be offered from waiting lists after offer day.
Source: DfE, Primary and secondary school applications and offers.
Last distance offered: the straight line from the school to the furthest child offered a place under the distance rule. Not a catchment: it changes every year.
Inspections
OutstandingGoodUngraded visit, no grade
Dates are the day each inspection started: Oct 2022 Good · Dec 2019 Ungraded visit · Dec 2007 Outstanding. Each dot opens its Ofsted report.
Inspection judgements graded Outstanding or Good, and Requires improvement or Inadequate, out of the judgements graded (the overall grade and aggregated judgements are not counted). Counted from Ofsted's grades, never scored from the report text.

Pupils
Full = pupils on roll ÷ the school's capacity (180 places), from Get Information about Schools.
Pupil profile and absence: DfE school census and pupil absence (Compare school and college performance). Free school meals = eligible at any time in the past 6 years; persistently absent = missed 10% or more of sessions. Withheld = suppressed by DfE.
Workforce
School workforce census, 2025/26. Staff in FTE (full-time equivalent), rounded to 1 decimal on the card. As published: teachers 10, leadership 3, teaching assistants 6.88, support staff incl. TAs 11.9, whole workforce 21.9 (30 people), 11 teachers by headcount.
Other support = support staff incl. TAs minus teaching assistants.
Per adult counts teachers, TAs and other classroom support; excludes admin staff.
- DfE: FTE pupils (January census) ÷ FTE teachers (November census)
- DfE: FTE pupils ÷ FTE teachers, teaching assistants, other school support staff and technicians; administrative, auxiliary and business staff are not counted
- Teachers in leadership posts: head, deputy and assistant heads
Financials
Academy accounts (AAR) · September 2024 to August 2025.
Published total ÷ FTE pupils in the same return, to the nearest pound; income and spend per pupil are left out when the return covers less than 12 months.
CFR (maintained schools, April–March) and AAR (academies, September–August) are different accounts and years: do not compare a maintained school with an academy.

From Ofsted report, inspected Oct 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils arrive at school with smiles on their faces and greet the staff warmly each day.”
- “Pupils are happy and safe here.”
- “There is a strong community feel.”
To improve
- “This means pupils do not build subject-specific knowledge in these subjects as well as they should.”
- “Leaders should ensure that they identify the key knowledge in each subject, with clear end points for pupils to learn.”
- “The new programme for teaching phonics is not fully embedded in Years 1 and 2.”
