St James CofE Primary School
Enfield, EN3 7HH · Enfield · primary school
51st 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.6/10 against 1,389 of them, against 4.2/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 62% | 2.85 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 38% | 1.36 |
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, 63.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access gymnastics, dance, swimming, outdoor and adventure activities, and the Daily Mile. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 188 pupils in a capacity of 210 places, leaving 22 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are close to the expected standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the outdoor and adventure programme? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main curriculum?
