About Rokesly Junior School

Rokesly Junior School's headline Key Stage 2 results sit below the Haringey average, with 63% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against the local authority figure of 69%. That gap of six percentage points places the school 37th out of 63 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the lower half of the local rankings. The shortfall is most apparent in maths, where 76% of Rokesly pupils met the expected standard, though the school's average maths score of 105 is in line with national expectations. Reading and writing perform better: 78% reached the expected standard in reading and 81% in writing. At the higher end, 20% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, with reading leading at 37%, followed by writing at 34% and maths at 32%. Nationally, the school sits at the 48th percentile on this metric, meaning it performs just below the median of all primary schools in England.

The school's Ofsted story is one of sustained improvement. It was rated Good in its most recent graded inspection in 2015, and an ungraded inspection in December 2024 found that it had improved significantly since then, with leadership and management also judged Good. This upward trajectory is reflected in the parent view: 88% of the 86 respondents would recommend the school, and 71% strongly agreed that their child is happy there. Strong agreement was also high for the school making parents aware of what their child will learn (72%) and for the range of subjects available (57%). However, the picture is more mixed for SEND support: 42% strongly agreed that children with SEND get the support they need, but 22% disagreed or strongly disagreed, and 11% said they did not know. The school has a 22.3% free school meals rate, which is above the national average, reflecting its diverse intake.

Rokesly has capacity for 360 pupils but currently enrols 301, so it is not oversubscribed, which may be a practical consideration for families moving into the area. The school offers a Forest School, library, art studios, music rooms and an ICT suite, plus playing fields for athletics, football, tennis and netball. Clubs include science, gardening and art. SEND provision covers a broad range of needs, including dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social and emotional mental health, speech and language needs, physical disability and autistic spectrum disorder. For families who value a Good-rated school with improving momentum and a strong sense of parental satisfaction, Rokesly is a solid, well-equipped option that sits comfortably within the Haringey mainstream, though those prioritising top-tier academic outcomes may want to look at higher-performing local schools like Lift Trinity or Rhodes Avenue Primary School.
