About Garfield Primary School

Garfield Primary School in Enfield holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspection in 2024 and its previous one in 2014. The most telling academic metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 75 per cent. That figure places the school comfortably above the Enfield local authority average of 67 per cent for the same measure. In the local authority rankings, Garfield sits 17th out of 59 primary schools, putting it in the top 25 per cent nationally. The school’s performance is particularly strong in reading and writing, where 86 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in each subject, while maths saw 75 per cent reaching that benchmark. Average scaled scores of 105 in reading and 104 in maths further underline solid foundations, though no progress scores are available to show how much value the school adds from pupils’ starting points.
