About Tudor Academy

Tudor Academy is a state primary school in Croydon, serving 451 pupils aged 3 to 11 under headteacher Donna Rochford. It sits 17th out of 88 primary schools in the borough, placing it in the top quarter locally. The top-performing peers in Croydon are Heathfield Academy, St John's CofE Primary School, and Applegarth Academy, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. Tudor Academy’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in December 2024, found that the school had improved significantly since its previous graded inspection in 2019, when it was rated Good overall. That 2019 inspection marked a clear turnaround from a Requires Improvement rating in 2016. The school’s leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness were all judged Good, and the report noted that the school continues to build on that progress.
