18th 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 the 3,353 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.5/10 among them, against 8.2/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 25.0 · 96 | 25% | 2.40 |
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 Monica's RC Primary School
Overview
This ungraded inspection confirms that St Monica's RC Primary School has "taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection." The school continues to provide a high-quality education where pupils are "friendly, safe and happy," benefiting from an ambitious curriculum and strong staff relationships. While the overall provision remains robust, the report highlights specific areas in mathematics and behaviour that require attention to ensure consistent excellence.
Strengths
- Pupils are described as "fluent readers, capable mathematicians" who use "advanced vocabulary" and can "confidently explain what they know and understand."
- The curriculum is "ambitious" and inclusive, ensuring that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) "can access the same learning" and achieve well.
- Staff create a "productive learning atmosphere" through "established routines," resulting in pupils who are "calm and attentive" and show "positive and respectful" attitudes.
- The school offers a "rich and effective offer for pupils' personal development," including diverse clubs and opportunities for community contribution, such as fundraising for local food banks.
- Leaders are "swift to identify and respond to any gaps in the quality of education," particularly having recently strengthened the approach to teaching reading.
Areas to improve
- In mathematics, pupils "struggle to apply this knowledge to problems" and sometimes use incorrect approaches that are "not consistently corrected," leading to misconceptions.
- A small number of pupils do not meet high behaviour expectations during break and lunchtimes, where "physical and immature behaviour sometimes occurs."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
