Heartlands High School
London, N22 7ST · Haringey · secondary school
7th of 12 secondary schools in Haringey we can score. 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 — 8.2/10 against 545 of them, against 6.2/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 45.1 · 53 | 30% | 1.59 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.37 · 77 | 25% | 1.93 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 45.4 · 48 | 10% | 0.48 |
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, 45.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 45.4, slightly above the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.37 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.2 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in choir, band practice, brass ensembles, and music producers, alongside Sports Day, a Whole School Musical, Battle of the Bands, and a trip to the Royal Albert Hall. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1178 pupils in a capacity of 1080, meaning it is over capacity by 98. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school 98 pupils over capacity, how does the admissions process handle oversubscription for new starters? Since the Progress 8 score is positive, what specific support structures help students maintain that trajectory through Key Stage 4? How does the school integrate the extensive music curriculum into the daily timetable for non-specialist students?
