5th of 21 secondary schools in Enfield we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 640 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.5/10 among them, against 9.0/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 72.3 · 92 | 45% | 4.13 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 40% | 2.10 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 55.9 · 87 | 15% | 1.30 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
