About Ecclesbourne Primary School

Ecclesbourne Primary School sits in the middle of the pack in Croydon, ranking 34th out of 77 primary schools in the local authority. Its headline metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — stands at 72%, which is six percentage points above the Croydon average of 66%. That places the school in the top half of the borough, though it is some way behind the top three schools in the area, all of which score 85 or above on the same measure. The school is oversubscribed by a ratio of 3.07 to one, with 184 applications for 60 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and 69 families listing it as their first preference. That level of demand suggests parents see it as a solid, reliable option rather than a flashy outlier.
