Check the area around this school
11th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.8/10 against 3,348 of them, against 9.5/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 87.0 · 96 | 41% | 3.89 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.76 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 23.0 · 95 | 26% | 2.41 |
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

The higher standard was reached by 23.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%.

What Ofsted said about Grange Park Primary School
Overview
Grange Park Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are proud of their environment and behave well. Leaders are highly ambitious, ensuring all pupils achieve well regardless of starting points and leave well prepared for secondary education.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy engaging, fun learning and are "mindful of the feelings of others," quickly ensuring peers feel included.
- A "highly structured phonics programme" enables accurate reading and spelling, with pupils reading widely and often.
- Early years children settle quickly, becoming "independent, confident learners" stimulated by an engaging environment.
- Curriculum plans help pupils build knowledge in a "logical order," with teachers providing opportunities to recall prior learning.
- Staff are positive about working at the school, appreciating high-quality training and reasonable workloads.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, teachers do not always use assessment well to check learning before moving on, meaning pupils "do not always know and remember as much as they could."
- Leaders should ensure teachers plan activities to help pupils "embed new core knowledge in their long-term memories" and routinely assess for gaps.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders building strong links with external agencies and ensuring staff have up-to-date knowledge of potential risks.
