GCSE Maths Tutors Barnet: 2026 Grades, School by School

Leading Tuition's GCSE maths tutors in Barnet are expert one-to-one online teachers who start from each pupil's own grade, because DfE's provisional summer 2026 results show a gap of 6 grades, at the median of the 33 Barnet schools read here, between the pupil one in ten from the top and the pupil one in ten from the bottom.

Barnet means the London borough, DfE's local authority 302. In summer 2026 Barnet's schools made 5,096 GCSE (9-1) maths entries, and DfE publishes the grades school by school.

How far apart are the pupils inside one Barnet school?

Every school on this page is read the same way. Line its entries up from the lowest result to the highest, with U and X at the bottom. The grade held by the pupil one in ten from the bottom is the school's P10; the grade held by the pupil one in ten from the top is its P90. The gap between them, counted in grades, is the school's width.

At East Barnet School, 12.5% of the 216 entries finished on grade 2 or below, so its P10 is grade 2, and 90.3% finished on grade 8 or below, so its P90 is grade 8. Its width is 6 grades.

Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet, The Henrietta Barnett School and St Michael's Catholic Grammar School each publish an entrance test on their own admissions pages, and their year groups sit at the top of the grade scale, so they are set aside before the comparison. Across the other 30 schools read, the median pupil's grade runs from 3 to 7. Inside those same schools the width never falls below 4 and reaches 7, with 6 at the middle school.

Among those 30 schools, the spread of pupils inside one school is therefore at least as wide as the whole range of school medians. The two small tables show how the 33 schools read fall by width, and how the 30 schools outside the three fall by median.

The three set aside have narrow widths for an arithmetical reason: the scale stops at grade 9. Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet put 174 of its 192 entries on grade 9, so its P10, median and P90 are all grade 9 and its width is 0. The Henrietta Barnett School, with 73 of 104 on grade 9, has a width of 1, and St Michael's Catholic Grammar School a width of 3.

A school's median cannot tell a tutor where one pupil starts, so the first session works from that pupil's own latest mock paper and the topics that lost it marks.

Which Barnet schools are read here, and which are left out?

Barnet here is the borough DfE reports as local authority 302, the boundary used on our A-level Maths page for Barnet. DfE's school-level data holds 50 Barnet schools, 42 of them with GCSE (9-1) maths entries, and this page reads 33. A school is read when it has at least 30 maths entries and those entries cover at least 90% of its end-of-Key-Stage-4 cohort. Thirty entries is the size at which one pupil moves a school's share by 3.3 percentage points or less. The cohort test exists because of Mill Hill Schools: DfE records 177 maths entries against 236 pupils there, 59 fewer, and the dataset does not say what those 59 sat.

DfE withholds the grade breakdown where a school has 5 or fewer entries; that withholding is DfE's disclosure control, and a total of 1 against a cohort of 16 does not mean a one-pupil school. Neither school below is described from its total. The table names all nine schools that are not read, with the entries DfE records and the pupils at the end of Key Stage 4.

Eight more Barnet schools appear in DfE's data without a maths row. DfE records GCSE (9-1) entries in other subjects for Mount House School, Brampton College and The Windmill School but none in Mathematics, and records no GCSE (9-1) full-course entries for Lubavitch Yeshiva Ketanah of London, Kisharon School, Dwight School London, Oak Lodge School or Mapledown School.

A pupil at any school on either list is tutored in the same way as a pupil at a school in the table: the programme starts from that pupil's own papers, not from a row in a table.

What did each Barnet school's year group score in GCSE maths in summer 2026?

The table gives DfE's grade counts for the 33 schools read, in order of the number of entries, which is not a ranking. P10, median and P90 are the grades defined above, and width is P90 minus P10. DfE defines U as ungraded or unclassified and X as absent or results pending.

P10, median, P90 and width are our own calculation from DfE's counts. Grade counts are not a measure of teaching quality.

The three schools with published entrance tests earned 281 of the 704 grade 9s across the 40 Barnet schools that publish a breakdown: 174 at Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet, 73 at The Henrietta Barnett School and 34 at St Michael's Catholic Grammar School. The other 37 schools earned 423 from 4,671 entries, 9.06%, against 4.55% for England (29,063 grade 9 entries from 638,396).

A pupil on grade 8 and a pupil on grade 4 can share a Barnet classroom, and a tutor works on the particular marks each is losing, not on the school's typical grade.

What can these results not tell a Barnet family?

DfE labels the release provisional. It was published on 15 October 2026, and any approved result amendments that schools requested have not been applied; DfE's next release is due February 2027.

No Progress 8 exists for these pupils: DfE will not publish progress measures for 2024/25 or 2025/26 because the pupils had no Key Stage 2 assessments. Nothing here measures how much a school added to a pupil's grade.

The table will not match a national headline either: DfE counts pupils at the end of Key Stage 4, while results-day figures count exam entries for 16-year-olds. The England figures here are DfE's own count of 638,396 GCSE (9-1) maths entries.

A tutor measures how far a pupil has come with a short diagnostic against the pupil's own exam board.

Confidence and progress

My son was low in confidence after COVID and the gaps in learning were building up. Using this service helped plug those gaps, rebuild confidence, and improve his ability to learn properly again.

Amazing tutors!

We arranged maths and English tuition ahead of GCSEs and both tutors were brilliant. My daughter's grades improved, and by results day she achieved two grades higher than in her mock exams.

Great Teaching and Focused Learning

I attended an English bootcamp with Leading Tuition and the experience was excellent. The teacher gave focused attention to the small group while keeping the lessons interactive and engaging.

How do Leading Tuition's tutors work with Barnet's GCSE maths pupils?

Sessions are one-to-one online with a shared whiteboard. A programme begins with a short diagnostic against the pupil's own school and exam board, then works through that pupil's past papers and marks them against the real mark scheme. Progress is reviewed against the pupil's own target grade at agreed intervals, and session notes go to parents after each lesson.

Foundation tier awards grades 1 to 5 and Higher tier grades 4 to 9, according to the AQA, Pearson Edexcel and OCR specifications, so our tutors confirm which paper a pupil's school has entered them for; the GCSE maths tuition page covers tiers and boards. Our maths tutoring service and GCSE tuition in Barnet pages give the wider picture, with Barnet's 2025 results. 91% of Leading Tuition students achieve their desired grades.
