About Holly Park Primary School

Holly Park Primary School sits in a competitive corner of Barnet, and its headline Key Stage 2 results tell a mixed story compared with the local authority average. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 63%, which is ten percentage points below the Barnet average of 73%. That places the school 68th out of 91 primary schools in the borough, and in the bottom 17% locally. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In reading, 81% of pupils met the expected standard, and in maths it was 76% — both solid figures. The average scaled scores in reading and maths are both 107, which is above the national benchmark of 100. So while the combined headline figure lags behind the LA average, the school is delivering respectable outcomes in core subjects, particularly for a school where 21.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals.
