About Harris Primary Academy Croydon

Harris Primary Academy Croydon is a primary school in Croydon, Croydon, classified by the DfE as an academy sponsor led. Around 406 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. The school holds an 'Outstanding' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 79% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 17.0 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 in the top 30% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 6% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 37% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child.
