St Mary's Catholic Primary School
Enfield, EN3 7DE · Enfield · primary school
25th 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 — 8.7/10 against 1,561 of them, against 7.3/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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, 72.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 13.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Junior Choir, Dance Club, and Netball Club. They play football, gymnastics, swimming, athletics, and netball. Arts activities include nativity plays, musical productions, recorder lessons, and singing workshops. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 334 pupils in a building with 420 places, leaving 86 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help with reading, given the gap between expected and higher standards? What specific activities does the after-school club offer? How does the school manage class sizes with 86 spare places?
