About Brimsdown Primary School

Brimsdown Primary School in Enfield holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in December 2023, a grade it has maintained since its previous inspection in 2016. The inspection report is particularly strong on behaviour and attitudes, which were rated Outstanding, and early years provision, also judged Outstanding. For a clearer picture of academic outcomes, the key metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2. At 55%, this is below the local authority average of 67% and places the school 50th out of 59 primary schools in Enfield. In national terms, this puts Brimsdown in the bottom half of all primary schools. However, the school’s average scores in reading (103) and maths (104) are close to the national benchmark of 100, suggesting that while fewer pupils are hitting the combined threshold, many are performing at a solid level in individual subjects.
