About St Michael's CofE Voluntary Aided Primary School
St Michael's CofE Voluntary Aided Primary School sits within Haringey, one of 63 primary schools in the local authority, and ranks 13th among them — comfortably inside the top quarter of its peers. The three schools immediately above it in the local rankings are Lift Trinity, Rhodes Avenue Primary School, and Lift Noel Park, all of which score higher on the same KS2 expected standard metric. St Michael's is also one of 18 primaries in Haringey currently rated Outstanding by Ofsted, a distinction it earned in its most recent graded inspection in 2023. The nearest other Outstanding-rated primary is Highgate Primary School, just 0.7 km away, so the area is well served for high-performing state options. The school is a Church of England voluntary aided primary, with headteacher Geraldine Gallagher at the helm, and caters for children from age 3 through to 11. With 436 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, it is operating slightly above its official number, which hints at its popularity among local families.
