Fairway Primary School and Children's Centre
London, NW7 3HS · Barnet · primary school
55th 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 — 7.7/10 against 2,302 of them, against 6.4/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.41 |
| 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, 68.0% 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%.

Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Tea Club, Art Club, Bollywood Dance Club, Drama Club, Dance Squad, Choir, Chess Club, and French Ambassadors. Sports include Multi-Sports, Basketball, Gymnastics, and Football. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 254 pupils in a capacity of 277, leaving 23 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school maintain its Good rating following the 2022 inspection?
