44th of 61 primary schools in Enfield we can score, 68 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 — 5.9/10 against 1,688 of them, against 4.8/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 41% | 1.61 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 33% | 1.73 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 26% | 1.57 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
