About St Aidan's Voluntary Controlled Primary School

St Aidan's Voluntary Controlled Primary School in Haringey was rated Outstanding across every category in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a rating it has now held consistently across two inspections. The school's strongest headline metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 70%. That figure sits just above the Haringey local authority average of 69%, placing St Aidan's 25th out of 63 primary schools in the borough. While the school ranks in the top half nationally for this measure, its performance is notably stronger in individual subjects: 85% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and 81% did so in reading. The school's average scaled scores of 109 in maths and 110 in reading are both comfortably above the national benchmark of 100, indicating solid academic foundations across the core subjects.
