All Saints' CofE Nursery and Primary School N20

About All Saints' CofE Nursery and Primary School N20

All Saints' CofE Nursery and Primary School N20 is a Church of England state primary in Barnet that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 115 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.83. Of those, 29 first-preference families applied, and 29 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put it first got a spot. That level of demand suggests a school that local parents trust, even if Ofsted data doesn't include a formal parent-view survey. The school is led by headteacher Breda McKelvey and has 238 pupils on roll against a capacity of 262, so there is a little room to grow. It also offers nursery provision, which may appeal to families looking for a single-site journey from age three through to Year 6.

Academically, the picture is mixed. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 50% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is below the Barnet local authority average of 73%. The school ranks 78th out of 80 primary schools in Barnet on this measure, placing it in the bottom 50 nationally. However, individual subject scores tell a slightly different story: 80% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, 77% in maths, and 67% in writing. Higher-attaining pupils are less common here, with just 13% achieving the higher standard across all three subjects. Reading and maths average scaled scores were 107 and 105 respectively. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, a graded visit in 2014, the school was rated Good overall, and an ungraded inspection in 2024 confirmed it remains Good. Leadership and management were also rated Good, though early years provision was judged as Requires improvement.

The school offers a solid range of facilities including a library, ICT suite, music rooms, art studios, a sensory room and a chapel. Sports provision covers football, netball, cricket and rounders, and there are clubs such as book club, coding, chess, gardening, drama and art club. For families with children who have additional needs, the school lists SEND provisions for specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, and hearing impairment. The nearest outstanding-rated primary is Ashmole Primary School, 2.2 km away. All Saints' suits families who value a Church of England ethos, a strong local reputation reflected in high demand, and a school that offers a broad set of activities despite its middling academic ranking.
