Check the area around this school
11th 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 — 6.3/10 against 440 of them, against 3.9/10 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

|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.84 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 38.3 · 33 | 30% | 0.99 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.01 · 51 | 25% | 1.28 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 42.1 · 29 | 10% | 0.29 |
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 Park View School
Overview
Park View School is rated as ‘Good’ across all inspection categories. The report describes a school where pupils are kept safe, behave well, and benefit from an ambitious curriculum that typically ensures they ‘learn and remember more’. Leaders maintain high expectations, and staff morale is high, with effective support provided for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities.
Strengths
- The curriculum is ‘well-planned’ and ‘well sequenced’ in most subjects, allowing pupils to ‘revisit, embed and apply their understanding’.
- Assessment is used effectively to identify and address errors, ensuring misconceptions ‘do not persist’.
- Pupils receive targeted support for reading, including peer reading sessions, which helps them build ‘fluency, independence and confidence’.
- The ‘BSafe’ team encourages pupils to report worries, and concerns are ‘dealt with and resolved swiftly’.
- Staff receive appropriate training and feel ‘very well supported’, particularly those at the start of their careers.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, leaders have focused too heavily on examination specifications rather than ensuring pupils develop a ‘rich body of secure and detailed knowledge’.
- Leaders must ensure staff ‘consistently apply school policies and procedures’, including the agreed approach for managing behaviour incidents.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are ‘effective’, with staff receiving up-to-date training and reporting concerns swiftly, although leaders are working with pupils to further improve their perceptions of reporting mechanisms.
