The Hyde School
About The Hyde School
The Hyde School, a state primary in Barnet, received an Outstanding rating across all graded areas in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. This continues a strong track record, as the school was also rated Outstanding in its previous inspection in 2015. On the key academic metric of Key Stage 2, 70% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year. While this sits slightly below the Barnet local authority average of 73%, the school’s performance is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In maths, 91% of pupils reached the expected standard, and the average maths score of 107 is notably strong. Reading and writing also performed well, with 82% and 84% of pupils respectively meeting expectations. The school’s ranking within Barnet places it at 48th out of 80 primary schools, putting it in the top 60% of the borough.
