This data from the DfE includes a score, which is assigned to schools all over the country, indicating the level of progress made by students from the end of key stage two to the end of key stage four.
The most recent list was updated this month, and it reveals the schools where students have made more progress in comparison to the national average.
We have compiled a list of secondary schools in Croydon, along with their respective results.
Whether their rating has gone up, down, or remained the same since our last coverage in January is also shown.

It’s important to understand that a negative progress score doesn’t mean students haven’t made progress or that the school has failed.
Instead, it shows that students at the school made less progress compared to others across England who had similar results at the end of primary school (key stage two).
A positive score means students at the school made more progress, while a negative score indicates they made less progress than their peers with similar starting points.
