Colindale Primary School
London, NW9 6DT · Barnet · primary school
64th 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 — 6.2/10 against 2,427 of them, against 5.1/10 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 | 40% | 1.56 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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, 60.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 11.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the 20/20/20 lunchtime club, Rainbows club, or Top Sports Academy Home Club. Sports include dodgeball, football, cricket, basketball, tennis, and rounders. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 703 pupils against a capacity of 630, meaning it is over capacity by 73. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With 73 pupils over capacity, how does the school manage class sizes and individual attention? Since the expected standard result is below the national median, what specific support is offered to pupils who need to close that gap? How does the school balance the wide range of sports and clubs with core curriculum time?
