About Oasis Academy Byron

Oasis Academy Byron was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, with the standout metric being that 76% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2. That figure places the school comfortably above the Croydon local authority average of 66% and ranks it 24th out of 77 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top third locally. Nationally, the school sits in the top 18% of all primary schools on this combined measure. The Ofsted breakdown shows the school retains Outstanding ratings for behaviour and attitudes and for early years provision, while leadership and management, quality of education, and personal development are all rated Good. This is a step down from the school's previous Outstanding overall rating in 2016, but the inspection report still paints a picture of a school performing well above local norms.
