The top 10 secondary schools in Croydon have been revealed based on ratings from School Guide.
Data from School Guide, an independent website that assesses UK schools using official government performance data, Ofsted reports and parent feedback, has highlighted the borough’s highest-ranked state secondary schools.
The schools are spread mostly around South Croydon, with many receiving 'good' or 'outstanding' in their most recent inspections before Ofsted moved from its old one-word report format in September 2024.
School Guide places the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology at the top of its Croydon rankings, using a mix of exam results, attendance data and parent reviews to compile the list.
The school's most recent Ofsted inspection judged the school 'outstanding' overall.
School Guide says its rankings are intended to give families a snapshot of how schools compare locally using publicly available performance data.

- BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology
