16th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.8/10 against 2,721 of them, against 7.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 86.0 · 95 | 40% | 3.83 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 34% | 3.30 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.28 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
