33rd 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 — 7.8/10 against 1,269 of them, against 6.3/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.15 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.78 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.02 |
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 Eastfield Primary School
Overview
Eastfield Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by a strong sense of community where pupils are happy and feel safe. Leaders have established high expectations for learning, particularly in reading, and staff are well supported. The report notes that while significant progress has been made in curriculum planning, this work remains incomplete in some subjects.
Strengths
- Pupils are described as happy, behaving sensibly, and feeling safe within a community where "everyone looks out for each other."
- Reading is the "top academic priority," with all staff trained in phonics and dedicated daily time for reading instruction.
- Effective assessment allows staff to quickly identify and support pupils who fall behind, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
- Leaders have methodically developed curriculum planning in core subjects, ensuring pupils build knowledge logically and deepen their understanding.
- Staff feel well supported by approachable leaders who have taken steps to reduce workload and care for staff well-being.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum does not yet enable pupils to deepen their knowledge in some foundation subjects, such as geography, where development is still a "work in progress."
- Leaders need to build on existing work to ensure that in all subjects, pupils gain and remember "deep and detailed knowledge."
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving frequent training to identify risks and promptly referring concerns to external agencies.
