About Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School

Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary in the London borough of Enfield, where it sits 25th out of 59 primary schools in the local authority rankings. That places it comfortably in the top half of Enfield’s primaries, though it trails the top three peers in the area: Hadley Wood Primary School, St Paul’s CofE Primary School, and One Degree Academy, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. The school is relatively small, with 184 pupils against a capacity of 210, and it offers nursery provision for children from age three. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2021, confirmed the school remains Good, a rating it has held consistently since at least its previous graded inspection in 2016. The early years provision, leadership and management, and overall effectiveness were all judged Good at that graded inspection. For Catholic families in Enfield, this is a faith-based option that is oversubscribed — 75 applications for 26 places in the 2025/26 admissions round — so securing a place requires a first-preference application.
