About St Agnes' Catholic Primary School

St Agnes' Catholic Primary School in Barnet received an Outstanding rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection, a significant step up from the Good it had held previously. The inspection, which took place in 2019, awarded top marks across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. A subsequent ungraded inspection in 2025 confirmed that these high standards have been maintained. The most telling academic metric for a primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. At St Agnes', 76 per cent of pupils achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 tests, which is three percentage points above the Barnet local authority average of 73 per cent. This places the school 36th out of 80 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top half locally and within the top 25 per cent of schools nationally.
