About Heavers Farm Primary School

Heavers Farm Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit slightly below the Croydon local authority average, which stands at 66 per cent of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. At Heavers Farm, that figure is 55 per cent, a gap of 11 percentage points. The school’s ranking of 61st out of 77 primary schools in Croydon places it in the bottom half of the borough, and nationally it falls in the 69th percentile.

The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 7 per cent, though individually 22 per cent achieved higher in reading and 17 per cent in maths. The school’s overall Ofsted rating is Good, a grade it has held across both its most recent inspections, with the latest full graded inspection taking place in 2023.
