Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Primary School
London, N20 9JU · Barnet · primary school
27th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.5/10 against 4,250 of them, against 9.3/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 83.0 · 92 | 40% | 3.67 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 22.0 · 94 | 25% | 2.35 |
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, 83.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 22.0% reached the higher standard. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.3 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Choir, Rocksteady, Coding, French, Spanish, and Chess. Sports options cover Netball, Football, Gymnastics, and Taekwondo, while arts include Irish Dancing and Dance. Trips visit The Globe Theatre, The Science Museum, The RAF Museum, Verulamium, and a tour around London. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 408 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 12 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for the remaining 12 places? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How does the after-school club integrate with the main curriculum?
