About Prince of Wales Primary School

Prince of Wales Primary School in Enfield was rated Good in its most recent graded inspection in 2016, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2021 confirmed the school remains Good. That 2021 visit gave top marks to leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness, all rated Good. The school’s most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 60%. That figure is below the Enfield local authority average of 67%, placing the school 44th out of 68 primary schools in the borough. In national terms, it sits in the bottom half of all primaries, at the 56th percentile. The school’s ranking score of 60 puts it in the bottom 50% tier nationally. While the combined expected standard is a challenge, individual subject results tell a slightly stronger story: 79% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and average scores in both reading and maths sit at 105.
