School Atlas lists 87 state primary schools, 25 state secondary schools, 9 special schools, 2 alternative provision schools and 3 post-16 schools and colleges in Croydon. It also lists 25 independent schools and 178 nurseries and other early-years settings.
Of the state primary, secondary and all-through schools, 25 have a religious character: 15 Roman Catholic, 8 Church of England, 1 Greek Orthodox and 1 Hindu.
Of the 112 state primary, secondary and all-through schools in Croydon, 75 hold an Ofsted overall-effectiveness grade from their last graded inspection: 16 Outstanding, 54 Good and 5 Requires improvement.
Ofsted stopped giving state schools a single overall grade in September 2024. Since November 2025 its report cards grade each area separately; 13 of these schools have had one.
Croydon doesn't publish catchment boundaries, though the admission rules for 1 of its schools define an area.
We also hold last-distance-offered records for 82 schools. That distance is not always a cut-off: at a school with places to spare it is simply the furthest applicant.
