About Winterbourne Boys' Academy

Winterbourne Boys' Academy is a state primary school for boys aged 7 to 11 in Croydon, currently led by headteacher Charmaine Henny. With 198 pupils on roll against a capacity of 277, the school is operating well below its maximum, suggesting there is room for more students. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 35.4%, which is notably higher than the national average of around 23% and signals a school serving a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. Despite this, the school appears to be in demand: it ranks 13th out of 77 primary schools in Croydon on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the top 25% of schools locally. This combination of a relatively small, under-capacity boys' school with a strong local reputation makes it an interesting option for families seeking a focused, single-sex environment within the state system.
