About St John and St James CofE Primary School

St John and St James CofE Primary School in Enfield has been rated Good across the board in its most recent Ofsted inspection from November 2021, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2018. The school’s leadership, behaviour, personal development, early years provision and quality of education all received Good grades. On the key academic measure for primary schools, 59% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the Enfield local authority average of 67%, placing the school 45th out of 59 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, it ranks in the bottom half of all primary schools, at the 59th percentile. Just 10% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects, though individual subject scores tell a slightly stronger story: average reading and maths scores were 107 and 105 respectively, both above the national benchmark of 100.
