47th 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 — 5.5/10 against 2,017 of them, against 4.6/10 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 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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 Keys Meadow Primary School
Overview
Pupils are described as "happy and kept safe," benefiting from a "broad and ambitious" curriculum that prepares them well for future education. The school fosters a positive environment where bullying is rare, and staff consistently apply clear routines to ensure pupils behave sensibly and are ready to learn.
Strengths
- Early reading is a clear priority, with a new programme ensuring staff teach phonics consistently and books are "closely matched to the sounds that pupils know."
- The curriculum sets out clear knowledge and skills from Nursery to Year 6, allowing children to "revisit and practise important concepts" to remember complex ideas.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "swiftly identified" and receive effective support from outside agencies to access the curriculum.
- Leaders provide strong support for staff, who feel "valued" and appreciate opportunities for professional development and consideration of their workload.
- Pupils’ wider development is well considered, including learning about diversity, the Equality Act, and staying safe online and from criminal behaviours.
Areas to improve
- In some recently developed subjects, teachers do not check carefully what pupils have learned, leading to gaps in knowledge that are not addressed sufficiently well.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff well trained to identify concerns quickly and work with external agencies to support pupils and families.
