Check the area around this school
32nd of 49 primary schools in Haringey we can score, 60 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 — 7.2/10 against 2,559 of them, against 6.2/10 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 | 74.0 · 76 | 40% | 3.03 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.01 |
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 Earlham Primary School
Overview
Earlham Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are described as "happy and safe" within a calm, purposeful atmosphere. Leaders maintain high expectations for behaviour and academic achievement, fostering strong relationships and a sense of belonging. The report highlights effective teaching and a well-resourced environment, though it notes a specific gap in the curriculum.
Strengths
- Reading is prioritised with well-trained staff, daily support for those falling behind, and an inviting library culture that fosters "confidence and fluency".
- The curriculum has been refined to ensure pupils gain essential knowledge and vocabulary, with staff effectively identifying and addressing "gaps in their knowledge".
- Strong systems support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), enabling them to access the full curriculum and participate in enrichment activities.
- Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with "well-trained vigilant staff" who are alert to changes in pupils and persistently follow up with external agencies.
- Staff well-being is supported, including changes to marking policy that have reduced workload, contributing to positive working relationships.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must design and implement an "ambitious computing curriculum" across year groups, as pandemic-related staffing difficulties have meant computing is not currently being taught.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff who are "alert to any physical or emotional changes" and leaders who ensure pupils receive timely support.
