About Wolfson Hillel Primary School

Wolfson Hillel Primary School is a state-funded Jewish primary in Enfield, currently home to 465 pupils against a capacity of 480, so it is running very close to full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at just 0.9%, far below the national average, reflecting a relatively affluent intake. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 101 applications for 53 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.91, and all 50 first-preference applicants were offered a place. That means every family who put it first got in, but the wider competition shows it is a sought-after choice. The school also offers nursery provision, feeding into the main school. Its religious character is Jewish, and the headteacher is Alex Kingston.

Academically, Wolfson Hillel performs well above the local average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 81% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Enfield LA average of 67%.

In individual subjects, 95% met the expected standard in maths, with an average scaled score of 109, and 90% in reading (average score 107). At the higher standard, 46% achieved in maths and 41% in reading. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2022, was an ungraded visit that confirmed it remains Outstanding, following a full graded Outstanding in 2017. The early years provision and leadership and management were both rated Outstanding.
