About Crook Log Primary School

Crook Log Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its last graded inspection in 2014 and which was confirmed as unchanged in an ungraded visit in April 2024. The school’s most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 67%. That figure is exactly in line with the Bexley local authority average for primary schools, placing Crook Log in the middle of the pack locally — 29th out of 55 schools in the borough. On individual subjects, the school performs strongest in reading, where 84% of pupils hit the expected level and 34% reached the higher standard. Maths and writing follow with 76% and 79% at expected, respectively. The average scaled scores for reading (107) and maths (108) are both above the national benchmark of 100, suggesting solid core teaching. Nationally, the school ranks in the 40th percentile among all primaries, and within London it sits in the 61st percentile.
