Shalom Noam Primary School
Edgware, HA8 0AJ · Barnet · primary school
45th 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 the 1,328 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.3/10 among them, against 7.9/10 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 74.0 · 76 | 40% | 3.02 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 16.0 · 85 | 25% | 2.13 |
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, 74.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 16.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.3 out of 10 among them, against 7.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in Table Tennis, Swimming, and Sports Day. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 231 pupils in a capacity of 235 places, leaving 4 spare spots. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 4 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list for new admissions? Since there is no wraparound care, what options exist for parents needing support before or after the school day? How does the school support pupils to reach the higher standard, given that only 16.0% currently do?
