About The Croft Primary School

The Croft Primary School is a primary school in Stroud, Gloucestershire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 138 pupils aged 5 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 70% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 3.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 111 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). The Croft Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 20 families who put it first were offered a place. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 8.53 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 4.8%. There are about 16.2 pupils per teacher. The Croft Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
