St Mary's CofE Primary School, East Barnet
Barnet, EN4 8SR · Barnet · primary school
40th of 84 primary schools in Barnet we can score, 92 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 — 8.7/10 against 4,258 of them, against 8.3/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 16.0 · 85 | 25% | 2.13 |
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, 77.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 16.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2023. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in football and Bikeability, visit Vauxhall City Farm, and attend a breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 210 pupils in a capacity of 218 places, leaving 8 spare spots. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 8 places remaining? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in core subjects? How does the breakfast club integrate with the morning routine for those who attend?
