Eden Girls' School, Waltham Forest
London, E17 5SD · Waltham Forest · secondary school
1st of 17 secondary schools in Waltham Forest we can score. 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 — 9.9/10 against 647 of them, against 9.4/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 94 | 35% | 3.28 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 73.8 · 93 | 30% | 2.78 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.94 · 97 | 25% | 2.42 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 63.5 · 94 | 10% | 0.94 |
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, 73.8% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 63.5, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.94 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.4 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in 2022-11.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Code, Sudoku, STEM, Arabic calligraphy, Art, Eco, Tea and Talk, and Homework clubs. Sports include netball, kickboxing, badminton, and football. Arts features The Edonian, an annual school play, and Eden’s Got Talent day. Trips go to France. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 620 pupils in a capacity of 840, leaving 220 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils in the 220 spare places to ensure they feel integrated? What specific support is available for pupils who need help with homework outside of the dedicated club? How does the school maintain its Outstanding standards with such a large intake?
