Blessed Dominic Catholic Primary School
London, NW9 5PE · Barnet · primary school
33rd of 84 primary schools in Barnet we can score, 92 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 — 6.5/10 against 3,807 of them, against 6.2/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.41 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 68.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in May 2025. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (6.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 452 pupils in a capacity of 472, leaving 20 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With 20 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list for new starters? Since the inspection was recent, what specific changes have been made to the curriculum since the May 2025 visit? How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths?
