About Edgware Primary School

Edgware Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, including an ungraded visit in 2022 that confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined expected standard in reading, writing and maths: 65% of pupils achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the Barnet local authority average of 73%, placing the school 63rd out of 91 primary schools in the borough. Digging deeper into the individual subjects, 83% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, with an average scaled score of 105, while reading and writing saw 78% and 68% respectively. Higher-standard attainment is more modest — 15% in reading, 12% in maths and 8% in writing — suggesting the school is particularly effective at moving pupils from lower starting points to meet expectations, rather than pushing large numbers into the top tier.
