34th 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 — 9.2/10 against 2,959 of them, against 8.5/10 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 | 90.0 · 98 | 40% | 3.90 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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 Hasmonean Primary School
Overview
Hasmonean Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a happy and inclusive environment where pupils feel proud to belong. The report highlights strong relationships between staff and pupils, with children demonstrating positive attitudes towards learning and high levels of attendance. While the curriculum is ambitious and well-designed in many areas, the inspection notes that recent changes in some foundation subjects are not yet fully embedded.
Strengths
- Pupils are "happy and proud to belong to this inclusive school" and have "strong working relationships with staff."
- Staff provide effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring they "develop confidence and work hard to match the high expectations."
- Reading is a priority, with staff well-trained in phonics; children get off to a "rapid start in learning to read in early years."
- The school offers a "broad and interesting curriculum" with a wide range of clubs, such as art and football, allowing pupils to pursue their talents.
- Governors "work successfully with leaders to support staff during periods of change" and understand their statutory duties.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, recent curriculum changes are "not fully embedded," limiting pupils’ deeper knowledge and understanding over time.
- Teaching in these subjects does not always build on prior learning precisely, meaning some pupils have "not achieved as well as they could."
- The school needs to ensure subject leaders have the guidance and support to fully implement curriculum changes and consistently identify key knowledge.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
