About Beulah Junior School

Beulah Junior School in Croydon was rated Requires Improvement in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a downgrade from the Good rating it held in its previous inspection. The inspection report noted that while personal development and behaviour and attitudes remain Good, the quality of education and leadership and management both require improvement. On the key academic metric of Key Stage 2, 52% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in 2023/24. That figure sits well below the Croydon local authority average of 66% and places the school 66th out of 77 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half nationally. No pupils achieved the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined, though 22% reached the higher standard in reading alone and 11% in maths.
