Hazelbury Primary School

About Hazelbury Primary School

Hazelbury Primary School is a large state primary in Enfield, currently home to 1,042 pupils against a capacity of 1,120, meaning it runs close to full but still has a little headroom. The school serves a notably diverse community: 39.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average and a clear indicator of the area's socioeconomic mix. Demand is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 139 applications for 75 places, with 74 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.85. That level of competition suggests Hazelbury is a popular choice among local families, particularly given that Enfield has 68 primary schools in total, only nine of which are rated Outstanding by Ofsted. The school itself holds a Good rating from its most recent inspection, with leadership and management judged Outstanding, and it has maintained that standard since its previous graded inspection.

Academically, Hazelbury performs solidly above the local authority average. At Key Stage 2, 75% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with an Enfield average of 67%. That places the school 16th out of 59 primaries in the borough, putting it in the top 25% locally. Looking at individual subjects, 76% met the expected standard in reading, 76% in maths and 77% in writing. At the higher end, 37% of pupils achieved a higher standard in reading, 23% in maths, but only 7% in writing and just 4% across all three subjects. Average scaled scores were 107 in reading and 105 in maths, both above the national benchmark of 100. Nationally, Hazelbury ranks in the top 19% of all primaries for combined expected standard, which is a strong showing for a school with such a high proportion of pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The school offers a wide range of facilities including a library, music rooms, art studios, an ICT suite, a sensory room, forest school provision and even a chapel. Sports on offer include football, rounders, athletics and dance, while clubs range from chess and eco club to drama, science club, book club and film club. SEND provision is broad, covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, speech and language needs, hearing and visual impairments, physical disabilities, social and emotional mental health needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. The school also has nursery provision for children aged two and up. Parent views are mixed: 75% would recommend the school, and strong majorities agree their child is happy and does well, though a notable minority disagree on behaviour and how concerns are handled. Hazelbury suits families who value strong academic outcomes in a diverse, well-resourced setting and who are comfortable with a large school environment.
