Whitefriars School

About Whitefriars School

Whitefriars School sits below the Harrow local authority average for Progress 8, scoring -0.1 against the LA average of 0.36 for secondary schools. That places it 12th out of 15 schools of its type in the borough, in the bottom half locally. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 39 is modest, and just 37.4% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths (the basics 5 measure), compared with 53.7% at the grade 4 threshold. Only 10.9% entered the EBacc at grade 5 or above, though a much higher 70.7% entered the EBacc suite of subjects. The school’s Progress 8 banding is officially rated as ‘Average’, meaning the headline figure is within the normal range for schools nationally, but in the context of Harrow’s strong performance it looks weaker. The most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2024 rated the school Good overall, with Outstanding early years provision. That’s a step down from its previous Outstanding rating in 2018, but the school remains a solid choice within a competitive local market.
