About St James Church of England Primary School

St James Church of England Primary School in Haringey stands out clearly against the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. The most recent data shows that 80% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a LA average of 69% for primary schools. That eleven-point gap places the school comfortably above the typical Haringey state primary. It also ranks 9th out of 51 schools in the borough on this metric, putting it in the top 25% nationally. The school’s performance is not just about hitting the baseline either: 28% of pupils achieved the higher standard in all three subjects, and in reading specifically, 56% reached that higher threshold. Maths and writing also saw strong higher-standard figures of 44% and 40% respectively. For a relatively small school with 190 pupils and a low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 7.4%, these results suggest a focused academic environment that pushes beyond the minimum.
