Check the area around this school
1st 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 370 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.8/10 among them, against 9.6/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 85 | 35% | 2.99 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 98.9 · 99 | 30% | 2.97 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.74 · 92 | 25% | 2.31 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 80.9 · 100 | 10% | 0.99 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Leaders maintain a culture of high expectations, rigorous oversight, and strong pastoral care, resulting in an inclusive environment where all pupils, including those with additional needs, thrive.
Strengths
- Pupils attain "very well" in national assessments, with disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND making "positive progress" and mastering subject content.
- Attendance is "well above national averages" and behaviour is "consistently excellent," supporting a positive learning environment.
- The school is a "truly inclusive environment" where pupils feel they belong, with effective support for those facing barriers to learning.
- Leaders provide "highly effective pastoral support" and ensure personal development opportunities are an "entitlement for all pupils."
- Sixth-form students receive an "ambitious and well-planned curriculum" and are "very well prepared" for university or training.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should embed approaches for checking pupils' understanding to ensure teaching consistently sets activities that "optimise how deeply they understand subject content."

Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and concerns are actively identified and managed.
