Our take
Independent boys senior school in Croydon for ages 4–11.
- Families seeking a senior school for ages 4–11, with thinking already on 11+ or 13+ entry.
- Parents who want a single-sex environment for their son.
- Fees aren't published. Treat published external fee comparisons with caution and ask admissions directly before shortlisting.
- SEND provision isn't documented in our profile. If your child has an EHCP or specific learning needs, ask admissions about case-by-case capacity before applying.
- Single-sex (boys). Comfortable for some children, less so for others — worth a visit on a normal teaching day rather than only an open-day showcase.

Recent coverage
Al-Khair School Preparatory School in Croydon, UK, underwent an Ofsted inspection from 1 to 3 October 2024, with the report published on 21 November 2024. The school was rated 'Good' in all areas: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. Inspectors observed that pupils are motivated, work hard, and show respect and kindness to one another. Assemblies are used to reflect on personal experiences and wider issues, and the environment is calm, with pupils behaving well in lessons and around the site. The school's curriculum is broad and planned to build knowledge progressively, particularly in English and Mathematics, where learning objectives are clear. In some foundation subjects, essential knowledge within topics is not always sharply identified, which can make it harder for staff to prioritise content. The reading programme is a strength, beginning in Reception with daily phonics. As of April 2026, the headteacher is Mrs. Almas Iqbal. The school has a capacity of 320 pupils and currently has 276 pupils enrolled. Parents have expressed high satisfaction with the school.
