Check the area around this school
57th 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 — 1.9/10 against 1,680 of them, against 1.9/10 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 40% | 0.96 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Edmund's Catholic Primary School
Overview
St Edmund’s Catholic Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by a "happy and inclusive school community" where pupils show "kindness and respect." Leaders maintain "high expectations," resulting in pupils who are "inquisitive and eager to learn" within a "calm and orderly" environment.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "broad and well-sequenced," allowing pupils to build knowledge and skills "in a logical way" from Reception onwards.
- Staff build "genuine, trusting relationships" with pupils and families, helping them "discover and develop their talents and interests."
- Leaders provide effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring most access the same curriculum as their peers.
- Teachers possess "good subject knowledge" and "check pupils’ understanding regularly," giving feedback that helps pupils improve their work.
- A "comprehensive personal development programme" teaches pupils about relationships, health, and diversity, fostering "kind, caring and active citizens."
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure phonics teachers and support adults "adapt their teaching" for pupils for whom reading fluency is the most significant need, as current support does not always focus precisely enough on specific reading needs.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a "strong culture of safeguarding" where staff receive regular training and report concerns swiftly.
