About Rosh Pinah Primary School

Rosh Pinah Primary School is a Jewish state primary in the London borough of Barnet, serving 393 pupils aged 3 to 11. It sits in a competitive local landscape where 14 of the 91 primary schools are rated Outstanding by Ofsted. The school itself ranks 40th out of 80 primaries in Barnet on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the top 25% nationally. Its closest Outstanding-rated neighbour is Courtland School, just 1.2 km away, which tops the local peer list alongside St Andrew's CofE Voluntary Aided Primary School, Totteridge and Ashmole Primary School, all scoring 93 or above on the same ranking metric. Rosh Pinah is significantly oversubscribed: for 55 places in 2025/26 it received 157 applications, with 47 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.85. This level of demand suggests strong local reputation, though the school's ranking percentile within Barnet (50th) indicates it is not among the very highest-performing primaries in the borough.
