Check the area around this school
13th 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 — 9.4/10 against 3,009 of them, against 9.6/10 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 | 85.0 · 94 | 40% | 3.75 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 31.0 · 98 | 25% | 2.46 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023.

Getting in
The published school roll is 420 pupils against a stated capacity of 420. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.
Worth asking on a visit
With the roll matching capacity exactly, how does the school manage waiting lists for specific year groups? How does the curriculum support pupils who have already met the higher standard in core subjects? What does a typical day look like for a child joining in the current academic year?
What Ofsted said about Walker Primary School
Overview
Walker Primary School is described as a place with "warmth, ambition and a real sense of community," where pupils enjoy learning and achieve well, particularly in core subjects. The inspection highlights "exemplary" behaviour and a "calm" environment, with leaders maintaining high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Strengths
- Pupils’ behaviour is "exemplary in lessons and all around the school," with disruptions to learning being rare.
- The teaching of reading is a strength, with early years phonics taught effectively and books "well matched to pupils’ ability."
- Leaders provide "exceptional opportunities to develop their characters," fostering a "rich ethos of cooperation and harmony."
- Staff support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities to access the full curriculum and work alongside peers.
- Personal, social, health and economic education is "woven throughout the curriculum," encouraging respect for different faiths and cultures.
Areas to improve
- In a few foundation subjects, teaching does not ensure pupils develop their understanding securely; leaders should refine curriculum changes so pupils "build knowledge consistently well."
- Leaders’ use of summative assessment in some subjects does not identify curriculum endpoints precisely; subject leaders must "sharpen assessment and monitoring systems" to evaluate curriculum impact effectively.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a "strong culture of safeguarding throughout the school" and staff well trained to recognise when pupils and families may need help.
