About Hollickwood Primary School

Hollickwood Primary School is a state primary in the London borough of Barnet, a local authority that contains 91 primary schools in total. Of those, 14 currently hold an Ofsted Outstanding rating, including Ashmole Primary School, which sits just 2.8 kilometres away and is one of the top-performing peers in the area. Hollickwood itself ranks 71st out of those 91 schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the bottom half of Barnet primaries. Its closest high-performing neighbours include Courtland School, St Andrew's CofE Voluntary Aided Primary School in Totteridge, and Ashmole Primary School, all of which score significantly higher on the same ranking metric. This context matters for parents weighing up local options, particularly if academic outcomes are a priority. Hollickwood is a smaller-than-average school with 196 pupils against a capacity of 210, and it serves a community with a notably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals — 41.4 per cent, well above the national average.
