Thank you for your interest in joining our wonderful Reception class at Coulsdon Church of England Primary School. We are delighted that you are considering our school for your child and hope the information below will help you get to know us a little better.

Please see below our school admissions policy and criteria for the September 2027 intake.

We warmly invite you to explore our website and, most importantly, to come and visit us during the school day. We would love for you to see our school in action, meet our children and hear, in their own words, what they love about being part of our school community. We have published some dedicated open days, but also welcome you to arrange a visit on a different day that suits you.

We are a Church of England school with a strong Christian ethos, and we are fortunate to be a diverse and inclusive community, welcoming families of many different faiths and those of no faith. We believe that the values we cherish and promote—kindness, respect, compassion, courage and acceptance—are important foundations for children growing up in our modern, multicultural world.

We are a small school with a very big heart. We know our children as individuals and are committed to helping every child discover their strengths, develop their talents and achieve their very best. We work closely with families, building strong and trusting relationships so that, together, we can create the very best opportunities for every child to flourish.

We are proud of our strong academic outcomes (top 10 in Croydon last year), but we believe that education is about so much more than results. We focus on the whole child, nurturing curiosity, confidence, creativity and resilience alongside academic achievement. We encourage our children to celebrate what makes each of us different, to be kind and courageous, and—most importantly—to dream big and believe in what they can achieve.

We would be delighted to welcome you into our school and hope that, when you visit, you will experience the warmth, care and sense of community that make Coulsdon Church of England Primary such a special place to learn and grow.

Please come and see for yourselves why we are so proud of our school.
