About Fairchildes Primary School
Fairchildes Primary School in Croydon received an Outstanding rating in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, with the top grade awarded across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management. This is a school that has clearly sustained high standards over time, having also been rated Outstanding in its previous inspection in 2012. When it comes to academic outcomes at Key Stage 2, the school’s combined reading, writing and maths expected standard attainment sits at 72%, which is above the Croydon local authority average of 66%. That places Fairchildes 34th out of 88 primary schools in the borough, and in the top 50% nationally. The school’s ranking score of 72 reflects solid performance across the core subjects, and it is worth noting that 8% of pupils reached the higher standard in all three areas.
