About Menorah Primary School for Girls

Menorah Primary School for Girls sits comfortably above the Barnet local authority average for its key stage 2 outcomes, with 79% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths compared with the LA average of 73%. That six-percentage-point gap places the school in the top quarter of all primary schools nationally and 28th out of 80 in Barnet, a borough with 91 primary schools in total. The school is also one of only 14 primaries in the area rated Outstanding by Ofsted, which it has held across both its most recent inspections. Its most recent graded inspection, in May 2024, awarded top marks across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all rated Outstanding. For parents weighing up academic rigour against a faith-based setting, the data suggests Menorah delivers results that are clearly above the local norm without being among the very highest flyers in the borough.
