St John's CofE Primary School
About St John's CofE Primary School
St John's CofE Primary School in Enfield was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2017, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric for this small Church of England primary is its Key Stage 2 performance in the 2023/24 academic year: 69% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits just above the Enfield local authority average of 67%, placing the school 26th out of 59 primaries in the borough. While not among the top tier, it holds its own in a competitive London context, ranking in the 34th percentile nationally. The school's strongest individual subject at KS2 was reading, where 85% of pupils reached the expected standard, and 31% achieved the higher standard. Maths and writing both saw 77% of pupils hitting the expected mark, with maths producing a notably high average scaled score of 107.
