38th 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 — 7.1/10 against 1,730 of them, against 5.8/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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 Fleecefield Primary School
Overview
Pupils describe the school as “friendly and welcoming,” where they feel “happy” and “safe.” Leaders have designed an “ambitious curriculum” that ensures pupils’ knowledge builds progressively, resulting in strong achievement. The report highlights “exemplary” behaviour and a positive culture where pupils are “valued, cared for and respected as individuals.”
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate “exemplary” behaviour, showing “maturity” and focus with “almost no disruption to learning.”
- Reading is a clear priority; staff teach phonics “effectively and with fidelity,” ensuring pupils read with “fluency and confidence.”
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive “strong support” and learn alongside peers “successfully.”
- Leaders refine curricular thinking in subjects like mathematics and computing, enabling pupils to “remember more over time.”
- Staff feel “well supported” by leaders who are “considerate of their well-being and workload.”
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, the school has not yet identified the important content pupils need to learn and when, which “limits pupils’ subject-specific knowledge and understanding.”
- The school should ensure curricular thinking in all subjects builds on key content progressively so pupils can “commit it to long-term memory.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
