About Mathilda Marks-Kennedy Jewish Primary School

Mathilda Marks-Kennedy Jewish Primary School is a state primary in Barnet that punches well above the local average on headline academic metrics. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 82% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Barnet local authority average of 73%. That nine-point gap puts the school comfortably ahead of the typical primary in the borough. The school also ranks 19th out of 80 primary schools in Barnet on the same measure, placing it in the top quarter locally and in the top 10% nationally. With a school capacity of 230 and just 218 pupils on roll, classes are relatively small, and the school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, 86 families applied for 29 places, and 28 of those offers went to first-preference applicants. That level of demand suggests local parents see the school as a strong option.
