Originally an all-through school for pupils aged 3 to 18, in 2013 Slade Green Junior School was absorbed into Crayford Academy with the school then being based over two sites. In 2019 the primary school provision of the school was formally split, forming two new primary schools: Haberdashers' Aske's Crayford Temple Grove^[6] (next to the original school) and Haberdashers' Aske's Slade Green Temple Grove^[7] on the former Slade Green Junior School site. Haberdashers' Aske's Crayford Academy continues as a secondary school for pupils aged 11 to 18.

In September 2021 the school dropped the 'Aske's' from its title following controversy over the legacy of Robert Aske.

Academics

The school has a music specialism which grants it the right to admit 10% of its pupil intake on musical aptitude.^[8]
