About Cromer Road Primary School

Cromer Road Primary School in Barnet holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its last graded inspection in 2012 and confirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2022. The school has come a long way from its previous inspection in 2008, when it was rated Requires Improvement, with leadership and management now also judged Good. For a clearer picture of academic performance, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. At 71%, this is just below the Barnet local authority average of 73%, placing the school 47th out of 80 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, it sits in the 29th percentile, meaning it performs better than roughly three in ten schools across England. While not the highest flyer in the area, the school delivers solid, broadly average outcomes for its pupils.
