Kingsmead School
Enfield, EN1 1YQ · Enfield · secondary school
10th of 21 secondary schools in Enfield 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 — 8.4/10 against 512 of them, against 6.4/10 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 | 46.6 · 57 | 30% | 1.72 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.27 · 70 | 25% | 1.76 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 48.8 · 66 | 10% | 0.65 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Dungeons and Dragons, Duke of Edinburgh Award, First Give, and Stepping Stones clubs. Sports include hockey, basketball, and swimming, while arts activities feature PVA Day and the School Production. The school also organises trips to art and culture museums.
Getting in. There are 1502 pupils in a school with 1470 places, meaning it is over capacity by 32. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity on a daily basis? What specific support is available for pupils who need extra help to maintain their progress? How do the named clubs and sports fit into the timetable for students who wish to participate?
