About St Paul's CofE Primary School
St Paul’s CofE Primary School sits in the Enfield local authority, where it ranks second out of 59 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure — a strong position that places it in the top five per cent of primaries in the borough. Its closest rivals among the top-performing peers in Enfield include Hadley Wood Primary School, One Degree Academy and Woodpecker Hall Primary Academy, all of which score within a few points of St Paul’s on the same metric. The school is a Church of England state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged four to eleven, led by headteacher Cathyrn Mann. With a capacity of 420 pupils and exactly 420 on roll, it is full to the brim. The school is heavily oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, 195 families applied for 60 places, and 74 of those put St Paul’s as their first preference, resulting in a first-preference offer rate of 60 and an oversubscription ratio of 3.25 applicants per place.
