37th 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 — 7.3/10 against 1,504 of them, against 5.9/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 25% | 1.85 |
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 Worcesters Primary School

The inspection found that the school provides a high-quality education, with an "ambitious curriculum" and "effective" safeguarding arrangements, resulting in an overall effectiveness judgement of Good.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "enthusiasm for learning" in a "calm and orderly" environment, with "exemplary" behaviour and strong attendance.
- The early years provision is "Outstanding," with children getting an "exceptionally strong start" and developing "independence and resilience."
- Music provision is of "particularly high quality," with every pupil learning an instrument and enjoying opportunities like "orchestra road trips."
- Staff have "strong subject knowledge" and deliver "engaging lessons," while the phonics programme is delivered with "precision and consistency."
- The school effectively identifies and supports pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) through "robust screening and monitoring."
Areas to improve

- Additional support for reading is "not precisely monitored" to ensure all struggling pupils "catch up quickly enough."
- The school should ensure key subject content is "clearly identified and sequenced across all subjects" to improve assessment precision.
