About Whitehorse Manor Junior School

Whitehorse Manor Junior School is a state primary in Croydon, one of 88 schools of the same type in the borough. It sits at 63rd place in the local authority rankings, placing it in the bottom half of Croydon’s primary schools. The top-performing peers in the area are Heathfield Academy, St John’s CofE Primary School and Applegarth Academy, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2022, rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. That’s a step down from its previous graded inspection in 2012, when it was rated Outstanding. The 2022 visit was an ungraded inspection, meaning the school’s overall Good rating was confirmed as still accurate. For families comparing options within Croydon, the nearest school currently rated Outstanding is St James the Great RC Primary and Nursery School, about 1.5 kilometres away.
