Check the area around this school
82nd 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 — 1.4/10 against 1,401 of them, against 1.4/10 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 | 48.0 · 16 | 40% | 0.65 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Claremont Primary School
Overview
Claremont Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils interact respectfully and are enthusiastic to learn. Leaders have designed a broad and balanced curriculum that is ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. The school fosters pupils’ creativity, physical and emotional well-being, and provides strong support for early reading and attendance.
Strengths
- Pupils are safe, behave sensibly, and resolve conflict effectively, with leaders encouraging strong peer relationships.
- Teachers have secure subject knowledge, and teaching often engages pupils, sparking their imagination and providing opportunities to consolidate skills.
- The school has successfully adapted its approach to early reading, including targeted support for pupils with additional needs and those learning English as an additional language.
- Pupils with special educational needs receive strong, tailored support and are widely included in the life of the school.
- Attendance rates are improving due to leaders closely tracking and addressing reasons for absence.
Areas to improve
- In subjects where curriculum improvements are new, selected work does not always support pupils to learn and remember key knowledge securely in the long term.
- The school should ensure teaching routinely checks that all pupils know and remember key learning and that work supports secure curriculum understanding.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
