Schools have received higher ratings from official inspections than the London and national average.

Recent figures issued by Ofsted, having inspected all but one of the borough’s 94 schools, reveal 94 per cent of schools in Enfield are rated as good or outstanding by Ofsted, ahead of the national figure of 87 per cent and London at 91 per cent.

It marks a great improvement for Enfield – in 2012 only 73 per cent received one of the top two Ofsted ratings.

This puts Enfield Council 13th out of 152 local authorities nationwide.

All six Enfield special schools have also either been rated as good or outstanding.

Cllr Ayfer Orhan, cabinet member for education, children’s services and protection, said: “This is a remarkable result and I congratulate all our schools – those who have achieved great results and those who I know are striving for improved Ofsted reports.

“These recent results demonstrate the commitment of our fantastic school leaders and staff at all levels.

“Expertise and hard work shows what can be done. It has happened at a time of great pressure when school staff and council officers have worked solidly to create more school places to meet demand by improving and expanding school premises.

“This is a magnificent achievement and I wish all our school staff and pupils a well-earned summer break.”

In Enfield 93 out of 94 schools have been inspected. 23 are outstanding (25 per cent of schools), 64 are good (69 per cent),  while six ‘require Improvement to be good’ (six per cent).
