Gladesmore Community School
About Gladesmore Community School
Gladesmore Community School in Haringey was judged Outstanding across every graded category in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The school has held an Outstanding rating since at least its previous inspection in 2013. However, the most telling academic metric is its Progress 8 score of -0.02, which places it in the national average banding. This means that, on average, pupils achieve almost exactly what would be expected given their starting points, neither significantly above nor below the national benchmark. Within Haringey, that score ranks Gladesmore 11th out of 12 state secondary schools, putting it in the bottom half locally. For context, the local authority average Progress 8 score is 0.33, so the school sits below that figure. The Attainment 8 score of 46.5 gives a sense of raw results, with 65.3% of pupils achieving a grade 4 or above in English and maths, and 44.8% achieving a grade 5 or above.
