The Department for Education has recently released updated information on school performance nationwide.
This includes a score assigned to each school, indicating the progress made by students up to key stage two.
The progress is compared to students across England who achieved similar results at the end of Year Six.
A positive score indicates above-average progress, while a negative score suggests less progress compared to similar schools.
However, a negative score doesn’t mean no progress has been made, just less progress compared to others.
We have compiled a list of primary schools in Croydon with their respective results, highlighting those where students have made more progress in reading, writing, and maths compared to the national average.
