Check the area around this school
47th of 49 primary schools in Haringey we can score, 60 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.2/10 against 1,804 of them, against 2.9/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 50.0 · 19 | 41% | 0.77 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.77 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.13 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Alexandra Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 50.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 6.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (3.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.9 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2022.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join Music Club, KS2 Choir, and Orchestra, or participate in gymnastics, archery, fencing, football, ballet, and basketball. Trips include visits to Southend, Greenwich, London Zoo, and St Pancras Church. An after-school club is available.
Getting in
The published school roll is 416 pupils against a stated capacity of 460. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.

What Ofsted said about Alexandra Primary School
Overview
Alexandra Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are proud members of a diverse community characterised by respect and kindness. Leaders maintain high expectations, delivering a broad curriculum that helps pupils achieve well, particularly in reading and mathematics. The school fosters a calm, purposeful atmosphere where staff support pupils’ social and emotional needs effectively.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy learning and value their friendships, with staff ensuring they feel safe and looked after.
- There is a consistent, effective approach to daily reading, with staff well trained in phonics and providing targeted support for those who struggle.
- Teachers use expert subject knowledge to explain new learning clearly, helping pupils build fluency and reasoning in mathematics.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are fully included, with staff adapting teaching and resources to meet individual needs.
- Staff workload is manageable, allowing time for collaborative planning, and staff report enjoying working at the school.
Areas to improve
- Curriculum planning in some foundation subjects lacks consistency, particularly under new leadership, meaning content is not always broken down into manageable components.
- This inconsistency can hinder pupils’ ability to tackle complex learning, as they may not have been taught essential skills first, such as using an atlas in geography.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with robust systems in place to record concerns, timely follow-ups, and well-trained staff who know how to identify and report issues.
