Check the area around this school
23rd of 61 primary schools in Enfield we can score, 68 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 — 7.0/10 against 4,143 of them, against 6.8/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 62% | 3.86 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 38% | 2.98 |
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 St Andrew's CofE Primary School
Overview
St Andrew’s CofE Primary School is described as a “vibrant and harmonious community” where pupils “love learning” and embody values of “love, courage and friendship.” The inspection highlights an “exceptionally strong start” in the early years and a broad, ambitious curriculum that supports high achievement, particularly in reading, writing, and mathematics.
Strengths
- Early years provision is outstanding, with a “sharp focus” on welfare and learning that makes education “irresistible” for children.
- Behaviour and attitudes are outstanding; pupils treat each other with “kindness and respect” and maintain “high” attendance.
- The curriculum is “broad and ambitious,” with strong published outcomes in reading and writing and improved results in mathematics.
- Staff effectively support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring they “achieve well” and learn alongside peers.
- Personal development is highly effective, preparing pupils to be “well-rounded individuals” through leadership roles and community involvement.
Areas to improve
- In a “very small number of subjects,” such as science, the school has not always ensured that teaching “corrects misconceptions in pupils’ knowledge well enough,” leading to persistent gaps in understanding.
Safeguarding
