About St Andrew the Apostle Greek Orthodox School

St Andrew the Apostle Greek Orthodox School sits within the London borough of Barnet, a local authority with 32 secondary schools where it ranks 23rd by Progress 8 score. That places it in the bottom quarter of Barnet’s state secondaries, but the picture is more nuanced than a single rank suggests. Among its top-performing local peers are Menorah High School for Girls, The Totteridge Academy, and Queen Elizabeth’s School, Barnet — all of which post significantly higher Progress 8 scores. The school is one of six in the borough to hold a current Ofsted Outstanding rating, though its own most recent graded inspection in 2018 judged it Good overall, with Good for leadership, management, and sixth-form provision. An ungraded inspection in 2024 confirmed the school remains Good. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Wren Academy Finchley, 1.7 km away. With 539 pupils against a capacity of 1,050, the school is notably under-enrolled, which may reflect its niche as the only Greek Orthodox state secondary in the country.
