About Enfield Heights Academy
Enfield Heights Academy is a state primary school in Enfield that significantly outperforms the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 67%, Enfield Heights achieves 80% — a clear 13 percentage points above the norm. This places the school 7th out of 59 primary schools in the borough, comfortably in the top 25% nationally. The school is oversubscribed, with 82 applications for 30 places in 2025/26 and 29 of those 30 first-preference offers going to families who put it as their top choice. Headteacher Justyna Powrie leads a relatively small school of 199 pupils, with capacity for 210. The school has no religious character and is non-selective, but its strong academic showing makes it a popular option for local families.
Digging into the detail of the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, the school’s strengths are clear. In reading, 88% of pupils met the expected standard and 56% reached the higher standard, with an average score of 110. In maths, 92% met the expected standard and 40% hit the higher standard, with an average score of 108. Writing saw 80% at expected and 20% at the higher level. The combined expected standard figure of 80% is well above the national average, and the school ranks 7th in Enfield on this metric. Ofsted’s most recent graded inspection in December 2023 rated the school Good overall, with all categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all rated Good. This is a step down from its previous Outstanding rating in 2016, but the school remains a strong performer.
The school offers a range of facilities including a library, sensory room, sports hall and forest school, with sports such as dance, athletics, football and gymnastics on offer. Clubs include coding, book club, drama and film club. SEND provision is well-developed, covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, social emotional and mental health needs, speech language and communication needs, physical disability and autistic spectrum disorder. With 46.7% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a diverse community. For families seeking a primary school with strong academic outcomes, good SEND support and a broad extracurricular offer, Enfield Heights Academy is a solid choice — though its oversubscription means early application is essential.
