Robert Fitzroy Academy
About Robert Fitzroy Academy
Robert Fitzroy Academy was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric for this Croydon primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — 54% did so in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 tests. That figure sits below the Croydon local authority average of 66%, placing the school 62nd out of 77 primaries in the borough. In the wider London region, it ranks in the bottom half of schools by this measure. The school’s average scores in reading and maths both sit at 103, which is in line with the national average of 100, but the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 5%, suggesting that while many children meet the expected level, fewer are stretching beyond it.
