About Muswell Hill Primary School

Muswell Hill Primary School’s headline metrics put it comfortably ahead of the Haringey local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 69%, Muswell Hill achieves 76% — a solid seven-point advantage. That places the school 19th out of 51 primaries in the borough, landing it in the top 25% nationally for this key measure. The school’s overall Ofsted rating is Good, awarded in December 2021, but the detail is more nuanced: behaviour and attitudes, and personal development, were both judged Outstanding. Leadership and management, quality of education, and early years provision all came out as Good. Compared with its previous inspection in 2006, when it was rated Outstanding overall, this represents a slight step back, but the school remains a strong performer within Haringey’s primary landscape.
