Check the area around this school
29th 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 — 8.0/10 against 1,380 of them, against 6.6/10 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% | 3.02 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 Earlsmead Primary School
Overview
Earlsmead Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a happy and safe environment where pupils are well cared for. Leaders expect high achievement, and the curriculum is generally well-sequenced to help pupils build strong knowledge, though recent improvements are not yet fully embedded in all subjects.
Strengths
- Phonics is prioritised from Reception, with consistent teaching and regular assessments ensuring pupils who fall behind are supported to catch up quickly.
- Early mathematics is well considered, breaking down key concepts into small steps that prepare children effectively for later learning.
- Pupils behave well, demonstrating courteous and respectful conduct, with any bullying incidents dealt with quickly and effectively.
- The curriculum matches the breadth of the national curriculum, with subject content carefully organised to help pupils develop deep understanding.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are accurately identified and well catered for, enabling them to access the same curriculum as their peers.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, checks on learning do not ensure pupils have remembered important knowledge, preventing secure progression through the curriculum.
- Leaders should ensure teachers consistently check what pupils have learned to help them build up knowledge securely and progressively.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture where all staff are well trained to identify risks and report concerns quickly.
