Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this
The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2025 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it. In 2026 the school was not oversubscribed, so no distance limit applied.

About Kenley Primary School
Kenley Primary School is a primary school in Whyteleafe, Croydon, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 164 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Requires improvement' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 82% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 41.0 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 41% of primary schools nationally.
Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 109 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Kenley Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 10 families who put it first were offered a place. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2025 lived 1.68 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 5.9%. There are about 16.8 pupils per teacher. If you are considering Kenley Primary School, it may be worth asking how leaders have responded to Ofsted's findings and what has changed since the inspection.
