Queenswell Junior School

London, N20 0NQ · Barnet · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
4.7/10 Broadly average

70th of 84 primary schools in Barnet we can score, 92 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 — 5.3/10 against 2,036 of them, against 4.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 63.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. The school was rated Good by Ofsted in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.4 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. There are 257 pupils in a school with 240 places, meaning it is over capacity by 17. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for children when the class size exceeds the physical space? What specific support is available for pupils who are not reaching the higher standard? How does the school ensure that the competitive entry process remains fair for all applicants?
