St Paul's and All Hallows CofE Infant School

About St Paul's and All Hallows CofE Infant School

St Paul's and All Hallows CofE Infant School is a small Church of England primary in Haringey, and its most recent Ofsted rating of Good places it in the middle of the local pack. Of the 63 primary schools in the borough, 18 hold an Outstanding rating, so Good is a solid but not exceptional result. The school's most recent graded inspection was in 2013, with an ungraded visit in 2021 confirming it remains Good. That's a significant improvement from its previous inspection in 2011, when it was rated Requires Improvement. With just 87 pupils against a capacity of 180, the school is well under half full, which is unusual for a London primary. However, it was oversubscribed for 2025/26 admissions, receiving 46 applications for 18 places, and all 17 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. That suggests a loyal local reputation, even if the raw numbers don't scream top-tier performance.

Academically, the data is thin for this age range. The school only goes up to Year 2, so there are no KS2 SATs results to compare against the Haringey LA average of 69. Progress 8 scores don't apply to infant schools either. What we do know is that Ofsted rated leadership and management as Good in 2013, and the school has maintained that rating since. The early years provision was graded as Requires Improvement in 2011, but the 2013 inspection didn't break that out separately, so it's unclear whether that specific area has improved. With 11.4% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a slightly below-average proportion of disadvantaged children for a London state primary. Without exam data, parents will need to rely on the Ofsted judgement and word of mouth to gauge academic standards.

The school offers a practical set of facilities for its young pupils, including a library, sports hall, sensory room, and chapel. Sports provision is decent for an infant school, with swimming, gymnastics, netball, and athletics on offer, plus clubs like choir, drama, and gardening. SEND support is targeted at speech, language and communication needs, and autistic spectrum disorder, which is helpful for families with children requiring that specific support. The nursery provision means children can join from age three. Given its small size and strong local demand, this school suits families who value a close-knit, faith-based infant setting in Haringey, and who are comfortable that their child will need to move to a junior school at age seven. The oversubscription ratio of 2.56 confirms it's a popular choice among local parents.
