Croydon Primary Schools, Secondary Schools & PreSchools in the Coulsdon and Old Coulsdon area

This is a great learning environment for your preschool aged children with friendly, helpful and child focused staff.

Interesting to see reviews with no full names! When we moved from abroad last year, Oakwood was recommended by some friends. Our oldest kids in school just had the chance to be for few months before going to Secondary School, but the School offered them not only a solid academic program, but a nurturing environment that made the transition to a new country very pleasant. With one kid with special needs, the inclusion was total, he was made part of every activity and received a fair treatment. For the first time in his education, he felt a part of the group. Once, we had a bullying incident against our son, and the classroom teacher and the management dealt with it immediately and effectively, protecting not only our child but also taking care of setting the corrective measures with the other two kids. We still have one kid at Oakwood, and could not be happier with our choice. Our daughter is getting stronger in maths and Literature, but also growing in maturity. Following the recommendations of our friends was the best decision for our kids' education. Very grateful to the school.

I moved to this school having come from a completely different school in Oxford with an environment that was very typical of a primary school. I moved to Oakwood and remember to this day the friends I made on my first day, all of whom I am still very close friends with today, and this is just one of many things that made Oakwood special. The education is something unique, and one that cannot be taken for granted, with the staff putting in a lot of effort to tailor classes to the needs of children, no matter their level. The Christian formation received at this school is something I have taken with me all my life and has been the most beneficial thing I have gained from the school.This formation and spirit is practised by all the members of staff and reflects in their extraordinary work on the children that attend the school. The availability of a priest regularly and regular mass and confessions was a real gift. I feel very privileged to have been able to attend and wish the school all the best going forward!

My son has been happy there for a couple of years. Great nursery.

Fantastic place

Happy school memories of St Davids.

A truly exceptional educational experience. Not to be missed.

I'm in this school and it is really good and everyone is hardworking here and everyone has fun so I say 5 stars.

What a great school people go to this school :-)

I went to School here and had a good experience. I have been back a couple of times to see how the school has changed and it has still had a relatively good atmosphere. Overall, I would most definitely recommend Smitham Primary School over the other schools in the area (Chipstead Primary, St Aidan's, etc.) as a strong primary education facility.

BEST SCHOOL EVER

Very lovey Headteacher and teachers! A school that is welcoming to all people from different backgrounds and a school that embraces Equality. Very happy to have chose this school for my children. Would definitely recommend to other parents!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Excellent teachers, fantastic support.

Lovely schoold parents and staff work together as a team to provide the best possible care for all involved. Children are happy and well cared and supervised for its a school full of great diversity and learning is provided at the best.

Ok School.But it is very crowded and the teachers do not really take care of the children who are in real need.Used to be a very good school but now the school has gone downhill. My son comes back with no school bag or no hat.I hope this school improves.Also, my son always comes back home terrified after the events that take place in the school.
