20th 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 — 9.1/10 against 1,464 of them, against 8.1/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
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 Wilbury Primary School
Overview
Wilbury Primary School is described as a “very welcoming and nurturing place to learn” where pupils demonstrate “positive attitudes towards their learning.” The report highlights an “ambitious and well-structured curriculum” and notes that staff maintain “clear and consistent routines” which contribute to a calm atmosphere.
Strengths
- Pupils exhibit “incredibly well” behaviour and show “resilience and kindness,” creating a safe environment where they feel adults will listen to their worries.
- Early reading is prioritised with effective training for staff, ensuring pupils learn to read “fluently and without delay” using books matched to their known sounds.
- The early years provision is praised for helping children, including two-year-olds, perform stories and rhymes with “enthusiasm and excitement.”
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported effectively, with leaders adapting teaching and resources so they can “access the curriculum” and learn well.
- Leaders foster a “happy and inclusive environment” for staff, ensuring workloads are manageable and valuing staff opinions.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, pupils struggle to remember previously taught concepts and vocabulary, leading to “gaps in their learning” as they cannot link new learning to prior knowledge. Leaders must ensure teachers help pupils retain knowledge over time.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective,” with staff being well trained, following reporting procedures, and engaging with external partners to support families.
