How far from the CR0 centre?

Pick a radius to control which schools appear in the list. Only schools whose postcode is in CR0 are included. We measure the straight-line distance from CR0 centre. Add your home postcode above to search by distance from your address across nearby districts.

Show schools within:

3 miles is selected by default. Add your home postcode at the top to measure from your address instead of the district centre. Try 1 mile or 1.5 miles for a shorter list, 3 miles for a wider search, or All in district for every CR0 school regardless of distance. Straight-line distance only. This is not walking or driving distance, or an official catchment area.

Showing schools within 3 miles of CR0 centre

Compare schools in your area in three steps:

  1. Choose a school type: primary, secondary, or all schools in your list.
  2. Sort that list to put the schools you want to compare at the top.
  3. Add to school shortlist: tick up to 6 schools you are considering (saved on this device).

Bars compare each school with the average for the same type of school in CR0. The dark line marks that average, and the figures are written beside each bar. Pupils and needs describe who attends, not quality. If you are unsure what a figure means, see the data guide at the bottom of the page.

Neighbourhood & area context

The figures below use three different geographies. Your neighbourhood appears when you add your full postcode. CR0 covers the schools and averages on this page. Croydon is the whole council area for census figures, which may not match your street. We only show statistics we have for this district.

Area snapshot for CR0

Recorded crime and deprivation near local schools, and Ofsted outcomes for schools in CR0, each shown separately. All of these relate to this postcode district. We do not give the area an overall score.

Common questions in this area

  • Close to published capacity near here?

    In CR0, 20 of 44 schools with roll-versus-capacity data are close to published capacity. That is not applications versus offers, and not a guarantee you will or will not get a place. Always check the local authority admissions rules and the school’s published PAN.

  • How far is the school run?

    Add your home postcode at the top of the page to see distances from your door. Until then, distances use CR0 centre. All figures are straight-line miles, not walking or driving time, and not catchment areas.

  • What changed recently?

    School and area figures come from open government releases (mostly 2024/25 where published). 52 schools here have a last inspection date on their cards; 8 show a plain-English note when Ofsted published area judgements without an overall grade.

    When we last refreshed data

Guide to school and area statistics

What the numbers on this page for CR0 mean. Area rows may still show (i) for data source and geography.

School listings

What you see on each school card

Only fields that appear on at least one school on this page are listed.

School type
How the school is run. For example academy, council-maintained, voluntary aided or free school.
Trust
The multi-academy trust or sponsor running the school, where it is an academy.
Age range
Year groups on roll. For example 4–11 for primary, or 11–18 with sixth form.
Ofsted
Latest published Ofsted outcome and date where we have them, plus a link to the Ofsted reports site. State-funded schools inspected before September 2024 have one overall grade, such as Good. Later inspections grade separate areas instead, and report cards from November 2025 use a scale from exceptional to urgent improvement. These schools show ‘No overall grade’, with a short summary where we have one. Fee-paying association independent schools are usually inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) instead: we link to ISI reports and do not invent an Ofsted-style grade. Non-association independents inspected by Ofsted show the same Ofsted grades and report link when published in Ofsted’s open management information.
Straight-line miles
Distance as the crow flies from your home postcode when you have entered one, otherwise from the middle of this district. Not walking or driving time.
Walking and cycling times
With your full home postcode set, cards show a rough time such as “About 25 min walk, 8 min cycle (estimate)” for 1 mile. We add 30% to the straight-line distance for real streets, then use the Department for Transport’s default speeds of 5 km/h walking and 15 km/h cycling. We show a walking time up to 3 miles in a straight line and a cycling time up to 10 miles, and the miles only beyond that. This is an estimate, not a checked or safe route, and younger children often walk more slowly. Use the route link on the card to see the real journey. Beyond about 1 mile, cards also suggest park-and-stride: parking away from the gate and walking the last bit. Without a home postcode, cards show rough hints instead of times: about 1 mile or less may suit walking, and about 1 to 2.5 miles cycling.
Pupils
Number of pupils on roll from published school census data.
Free school meals
Pupils eligible for free school meals. Often used as one indicator of economic disadvantage in the catchment. Useful context, not a comment on pupils or families.
SEN
Share of pupils with SEN support or an EHC plan. A higher figure can reflect inclusive admissions and experience, or more demand on staff. Check what is on site and talk to the SENCO.
SEN provision
Extra on-site support such as a resourced provision or SEN unit.
English as an additional language (EAL)
Pupils whose first language is not English. Many schools support this well; if English at home matters to you, ask how beginners are taught in class. Not a measure of overall quality.
Attendance
Share of possible sessions attended. Higher is better.
Persistent absence
Share of pupils missing 10% or more of sessions. Lower is better.
Roll vs capacity
Roll versus published GIAS capacity. Close to, around, or below published capacity. Not applications versus offers, and not a guarantee of a place.
Attainment
Primary: share meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (Key Stage 2). Secondary: Attainment 8, the average GCSE-level score across eight subjects (Key Stage 4), or Progress 8 where that is the latest DfE figure for the school. A dash means nothing was published for that school.
Attainment vs local
Compares each school’s headline to others of the same phase on this page. Above, below or about average for the district.

Census figures for the local council area, not your street or this postcode district alone.
Crime figures
Crimes recorded by police over the latest 12 months on data.police.uk, per 1,000 residents, in the small neighbourhoods where schools in this postcode district are located. Anti-social behaviour is not included. Police map each crime to a nearby point, so your street may differ. In town and city centres few people live but many visit, so the rate per resident can look very high. We leave the figure out where a police force has not published every month.

About these figures
School and Ofsted data from official releases. The area overview splits postcode-district figures from wider council context, with dates at the bottom of that panel.
