About Aerodrome Primary Academy

Aerodrome Primary Academy is a primary school in Croydon, Croydon, classified by the DfE as an academy converter. Around 466 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 66% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 4.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 20% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 109 in reading and 109 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 18% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Aerodrome Primary Academy 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links further down the page.
