Childs Hill Primary School
About Childs Hill Primary School
Childs Hill Primary School’s headline metrics tell a mixed story when set against the Barnet local authority average for primary schools. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined (KS2) is 73%, but Childs Hill sits at 54% — a gap of 19 percentage points. That places the school 77th out of 91 primary schools in Barnet, firmly in the bottom half of the local league table. On the other hand, the school’s average scaled scores in reading (104) and maths (103) are both above the national benchmark of 100, suggesting that while fewer children hit the combined expected standard, those who do are performing solidly. The proportion reaching the higher standard in reading (23%) and maths (16%) is also respectable. So the picture is nuanced: the school isn’t among the strongest in the borough, but its raw scores indicate decent attainment for many pupils.
