About St Michael at Bowes CofE Junior School

St Michael at Bowes CofE Junior School sits comfortably above the Enfield local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 67%, this school achieves 75% — a clear eight-point advantage. That places it 19th out of 59 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top third locally and the top quarter nationally. The school’s overall Ofsted rating of Good was confirmed in an ungraded inspection in July 2023, and it has held that rating consistently since at least its previous graded inspection in 2014. For parents weighing up options in Enfield, this is a solid, above-average performer that doesn’t shout about itself but quietly delivers results that outpace most of its neighbours.
