Fortismere School
London, N10 1NE · Haringey · secondary school
4th of 12 secondary schools in Haringey we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.4/10 against 747 of them, against 8.7/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 65.9 · 88 | 30% | 2.64 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.49 · 83 | 25% | 2.08 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 58.1 · 90 | 10% | 0.90 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 65.9% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 58.1, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.49 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.7 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in October 2022.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Debate Society, Mental Health Champions, and Scholars Programme, or sing in the Community Choir. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1746 pupils in a capacity of 1655, meaning it is over capacity by 91. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity by 91 places? What specific support is available for pupils who need extra help in maths? How accessible is the after-school club for families with varying pick-up times?
