Laurel Park School
London, N14 7HY · Enfield · secondary school
21st 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 — 3.0/10 against 487 of them, against 1.7/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 28.9 · 15 | 46% | 0.68 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.37 · 23 | 38% | 0.87 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 36.8 · 10 | 15% | 0.15 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 28.9% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 36.8, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.37 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (3.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.7 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Science Ambassadors, Debating and Public Speaking, STEM, Coding, and Social Media Clubs. Sports include trampolining, football, netball, volleyball, basketball, and athletics. Trips visit the Royal Opera House, Riverboat cruise on the Thames, London Eye, Warwick Castle, Millfield Theatre, Alexandra Palace, The Snow Centre, and Epping Forest. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. There are 607 pupils in a school with 800 places, leaving 193 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to close the gap between the current Attainment 8 score and the national median? What specific strategies are used to improve Progress 8 scores for students from similar backgrounds? How does the after-school club structure support pupils who do not have other evening activities?
