9th 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 — 6.4/10 against 191 of them, against 4.3/10 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 | 86 | 35% | 3.00 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 36.3 · 28 | 30% | 0.84 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.25 · 69 | 25% | 1.72 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 40.5 · 22 | 10% | 0.22 |
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, 43.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 42.0, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 in 2023/24 was +0.25, 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 (7.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.3 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted inspected the school in November 2025 under the new report-card framework, which grades each area separately and gives no overall grade.

What Ofsted said about Oasis Academy Hadley
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils "learn well, feel safe and are consistently encouraged to become the ‘best versions of themselves’." Leaders have created a "harmonious and diverse community" with high expectations for behaviour and attendance, resulting in strong outcomes for disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs.
Strengths
- Pupils make "strong progress through the curriculum" and achieve well in national tests, with disadvantaged pupils performing "significantly above national averages."
- Attendance is improving due to targeted interventions, such as a free breakfast and a "community hub" that works closely with families.
- Inclusion is "at the heart of this school's work," with swift assessment of needs and strategic use of pupil premium funding to remove barriers to learning.
- The early years curriculum is "well organised," enabling children to make "highly effective progress" and leave "exceptionally well prepared for Year 1."
- Staff benefit from "high-quality training" and feel "well supported by leaders with regard to their wellbeing and workload."
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure that highly effective teaching methods, such as those used for assessment, are "embedded across all subjects and phases" to address variability in implementation.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing "an open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and concerns are actively identified, acted upon and managed."
