About Brettenham Primary School

Brettenham Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit noticeably below the Enfield local authority average, which is a significant point for parents to weigh up. In the 2023/24 academic year, 53% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 67% for primary schools. That 14-point gap places the school 54th out of 59 primary schools in Enfield, putting it in the bottom half of the borough. The school’s ranking score of 53 reflects this, and it sits in the bottom 50% nationally too. On the positive side, the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2023 rated it Good overall, with a standout Outstanding grade for early years provision. That suggests the foundation stage is a real strength, even if later academic outcomes don’t yet match the LA benchmark.
