About Weston Park Primary School

Weston Park Primary School sits in the London borough of Haringey, one of 63 state primary schools in the area. In the most recent local rankings, based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, the school placed 29th out of 51 — putting it just inside the top half of Haringey primaries. The three highest-scoring peers in the borough are Lift Trinity, Rhodes Avenue Primary School and Lift Noel Park, all of which sit above Weston Park in the rankings. The school is one of 18 primaries in Haringey currently rated Outstanding by Ofsted, and the nearest other Outstanding-rated school is St Aidan's Voluntary Controlled Primary School, 0.6 kilometres away. Headteacher Katie Coombes leads a mixed, non-religious primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. The school is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 217 applications for 30 places, with 45 first-preference applications and 26 offers made to first-preference families.

Academically, Weston Park performs broadly in line with the local average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 69 per cent of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — exactly matching the Haringey average of 69 per cent. At the higher standard, 21 per cent achieved that benchmark. In individual subjects, reading saw 86 per cent of pupils reach the expected level and 31 per cent the higher level; writing had 76 per cent at expected and 34 per cent at higher; maths had 79 per cent at expected and 38 per cent at higher. Average scaled scores were 106 in both reading and maths. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in June 2024, awarded Outstanding across every category: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This marks a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2012, when it was rated Good overall, with Good for leadership and management.

The school offers a solid range of facilities, including a sports hall, music rooms, art studios, an ICT suite, a sensory room and a forest school — the last of which is a notable addition for outdoor learning. Sports on offer include dance, cricket, football, swimming and athletics, while clubs cover drama, coding, choir and book club. Weston Park has a published SEND offer for pupils with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. With 218 pupils on roll against a capacity of 236, and 15 per cent eligible for free school meals, it is a reasonably sized primary that feels popular without being overcrowded. This is a school that suits families looking for a well-regarded local option with strong Ofsted credentials, a nursery for younger siblings, and a broad-enough enrichment programme to keep children engaged beyond the classroom.
