Chace Community School
Enfield, EN1 3HQ · Enfield · secondary school
16th of 21 secondary schools in Enfield we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.8/10 against 411 of them, against 2.6/10 nationally. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.79 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 38.7 · 37 | 30% | 1.12 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.6 · 12 | 25% | 0.30 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 42.1 · 30 | 10% | 0.31 |
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, 38.7% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 42.1, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.6 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.6 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in 2022.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and First Give clubs. Trips include visits to the Barbican and theatre productions such as *1536* and *The Mousetrap*. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 880 pupils in a capacity of 1000, leaving 120 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to close the gap between their Progress 8 score and the national median? What specific steps are taken to maintain the Good Ofsted rating following the 2022 inspection? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the academic timetable?
