About Akiva School

Akiva School’s Key Stage 2 results put it well ahead of the Barnet local authority average. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 73%, Akiva’s figure is 88% — a gap of 15 percentage points. That performance places the school 4th out of 80 primary schools in Barnet, putting it in the top 5% locally. Nationally, it ranks in the top 4% of all primary schools. The school also outperforms on higher-level attainment: 20% of pupils hit the higher standard in all three subjects, and in maths specifically, 44% reached that top tier. Reading and writing higher scores are 31% and 39% respectively. These are strong numbers for a state primary, and they suggest a consistent focus on stretching pupils beyond the expected level.
