About Krishna Avanti Primary School

Krishna Avanti Primary School, a state-funded Hindu primary in Croydon, stands out against the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. In the 2023/24 academic year, 74% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Croydon average of 66%. That eight-percentage-point gap places the school 27th out of 77 primaries in the borough, putting it comfortably in the top 35% locally. The school also performs well on the higher standard: 4% of pupils achieved the top marks across all three subjects. Individual subject scores are solid too, with average scaled scores of 109 in both reading and maths, and 78% of pupils meeting the expected standard in writing. The school is oversubscribed, receiving 71 applications for 24 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, with 22 first-preference offers made. It has a Hindu religious character, which may appeal to families seeking a faith-based setting, and its small roll of 202 pupils means class sizes are manageable.
