About Greenvale Primary School

Greenvale Primary School sits comfortably above the Croydon average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 79% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the local authority average of 66%. That 13-point gap is a meaningful one, and it places the school in the top quarter of all primary schools in Croydon — 18th out of 77, to be precise. Nationally, it sits in the 13th percentile, which is a solid performance for a state primary of this size. The school also outperforms the LA average on individual subjects: 86% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, 83% in writing and 79% in reading. Higher-standard attainment is also notable, with 48% reaching the higher bar in writing and 45% in both reading and maths. For a school with just 214 pupils and a below-average proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 9.3%, these results suggest a focused, academically effective environment.
