Check the area around this school
2nd 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 — 9.5/10 against 3,685 of them, against 9.1/10 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 | 79.0 · 86 | 62% | 5.28 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 31.0 · 98 | 38% | 3.78 |
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 Southgate Primary School (CE)
Overview
Pupils love attending this school, where positive relationships and high expectations create a "harmonious community" with "excellent" behaviour. Most pupils achieve well, particularly in reading and core subjects, though curriculum planning in some areas requires refinement.
Strengths
- Behaviour is "excellent," resulting in a safe and happy environment where pupils show "highly positive attitudes to their learning."
- Reading is central to the curriculum; phonics teaching is "mostly consistent," and most pupils learn to read well with "age-appropriate levels of fluency."
- Personal development is "excellent," with pupils benefiting from educational visits, sports, and leadership roles that prepare them for their next stage.
- Attendance is high and persistent absence is low due to "impactful strategies and support for pupils and families."
- Staff are "overwhelmingly positive about working at the school" and feel well supported by leaders.
Areas to improve
- Provision for a small number of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and the weakest readers needs "further sharpening" to help them catch up more quickly.
- In a few subjects, including the early years, the precise knowledge pupils should know is not yet identified or sequenced well for every year group, leading to some knowledge gaps.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
