About Northside Primary School

Northside Primary School, a state primary in Barnet, sits slightly below the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 68%, compared with the Barnet average of 73%. That five-point gap places Northside 54th out of 91 primary schools in the borough, in the bottom half of its local league table. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at the detail. In reading, 86% of pupils met the expected standard and half achieved a higher score — well above typical national figures. Maths scores are also solid, with an average scaled score of 107 and 82% reaching the expected level. The school’s ranking within London (905th out of 1,592 primaries) and nationally (4,984th out of 13,686) suggests a broadly average performer that punches above its weight in reading but loses ground in the combined measure.
