The data gives each school a score to show how much progress students made from the end of primary school to the end of GCSEs.
This report highlights schools where students made more progress than the national average.
We’ve compiled a list of secondary schools in Croydon, showing their scores and whether their ratings have gone up, down, or stayed the same since our last coverage in July.

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.
