About Rhodes Avenue Primary School

Rhodes Avenue Primary School is a primary school in London, Haringey, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 688 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. The school holds an 'Outstanding' judgement from Ofsted (February 2026). In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 92% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 1.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 1% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 112 in reading and 111 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 30% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Competition for places is real here - 80% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (113 first choices for 90 places). The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 0.46 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 4.0%. There are about 24.1 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 5% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child.
