GCSE Biology Tutor Enfield: 2026 Grades by School

Leading Tuition's GCSE Biology tutors in Enfield are expert one-to-one online teachers who work from each pupil's own school, because DfE's provisional summer 2026 figures record 522 separate GCSE Biology entries at the eight Enfield schools with 30 or more, and grade 4 or above runs from 73% at The Lea Valley Academy to 100% at Wren Academy Enfield.

Enfield means the London borough, DfE's local authority 308. DfE lists 23 Enfield schools with a separate GCSE (9-1) Biology row, and each school's Biology entries are set below beside its pupils at the end of Key Stage 4.

What do the Biology rows count, and which Enfield schools are read?

The rows count entries in GCSE (9-1) Biology, the separate full-course qualification. Combined Science is a different qualification, a Double Award, and DfE lists it as its own subject in the same table. A pupil taking Combined Science therefore has no Biology row, and a school's Biology entries count the pupils who took the separate GCSE, never the whole year group.

DfE's table lists 23 Enfield schools with a Biology row. Eight have 30 or more entries: The Latymer School (190), Southgate School (83), Edmonton County School (51), Wren Academy Enfield (45), The Lea Valley Academy (44), Kingsmead School (41), St John's Preparatory and Senior School (38) and Lift Aylward (30). Together they hold 522 entries. The other fifteen are listed further down by entry count.

The figures come from DfE's Key Stage 4 performance release for 2025/26, published on 15 October 2026 and labelled provisional. DfE defines the two non-numeric columns this way: grade U refers to pupils' results which are ungraded or unclassified, and grade X refers to pupils who were absent or whose results are pending. Each has its own column here, so every row adds up to the school's total. The DfE Key Stage 4 performance release carries the full notes.

How many Biology entries does each Enfield school have beside its year group?

DfE counts the pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 for each school alongside the entries. Set side by side, the two counts show the size of the Biology group a tutor is working from. They are counts only.

The Latymer School has 190 Biology entries against 190 pupils at the end of Key Stage 4. Southgate School has 83 against 233, Edmonton County School 51 against 268, and Wren Academy Enfield 45 against 184. The Lea Valley Academy has 44 against 140, Kingsmead School 41 against 242, St John's Preparatory and Senior School 38 against 47, and Lift Aylward 30 against 218.

Across the eight schools the 522 entries sit beside 1,522 pupils at the end of Key Stage 4. Southgate's 83 entries are the largest group outside Latymer and Lift Aylward's 30 the smallest of the eight. A tutor working with a pupil at Edmonton County School knows the Biology group there is 51 entries inside a year group of 268, and then turns to the pupil's own mock papers, which say far more about one child than any school row.

What grades did the eight schools record in GCSE Biology in summer 2026?

The first table gives DfE's grade counts for each school, with grades 1 to 3 combined into one column. Counts carry the table because several schools have fewer than 50 entries, and one pupil moves a percentage by two points or more.

The second table sets the counts at two lines, grade 4 and above and grade 7 and above, against each school's entries, with the share rounded to a whole number.

Wren Academy Enfield and The Latymer School each record every entry at grade 4 or above, 45 of 45 and 190 of 190. The Lea Valley Academy records 32 of 44, and Lift Aylward 28 of 30. Grade 9 appears 81 times at Latymer, 10 at Southgate, 8 each at Kingsmead and Wren, 5 at Edmonton County and 3 each at St John's and Lift Aylward, and not at all at The Lea Valley Academy.

No Enfield school here is read by a single number. Southgate School records 82 entries at grade 4 or above and 44 at grade 7 or above, Kingsmead School 37 and 21, and Edmonton County School 50 and 19.

How do the grades spread inside each of the eight schools?

A school total hides where its entries sit. Each paragraph gives the split between grades 4 to 6 and grades 7 to 9, then whatever lies outside both.

The Latymer School. 190 entries against 190 pupils at the end of Key Stage 4. Of 190 entries, 24 sit at grades 4 to 6 (1 at grade 4, 3 at grade 5, 20 at grade 6) and 166 at grades 7 to 9 (40, 45 and 81 at grades 7, 8 and 9). No entry sits below grade 4 or in the U and X columns.

Southgate School. This is the largest Biology group of the eight outside Latymer, at 83 entries against 233 pupils. Of 83 entries, 38 sit at grades 4 to 6 (6 at grade 4, 9 at grade 5, 23 at grade 6) and 44 at grades 7 to 9 (18, 16 and 10 at grades 7, 8 and 9). The remaining entries are 1 listed as X.

Edmonton County School. The 51 entries here sit against 268 pupils at the end of Key Stage 4. Of 51 entries, 31 sit at grades 4 to 6 (0 at grade 4, 6 at grade 5, 25 at grade 6) and 19 at grades 7 to 9 (10, 4 and 5 at grades 7, 8 and 9). The remaining entries are 1 at grades 1 to 3.

Wren Academy Enfield. Wren Academy Enfield has 45 entries against 184 pupils. Of 45 entries, 18 sit at grades 4 to 6 (1 at grade 4, 5 at grade 5, 12 at grade 6) and 27 at grades 7 to 9 (11, 8 and 8 at grades 7, 8 and 9). No entry sits below grade 4 or in the U and X columns.

The Lea Valley Academy. The Lea Valley Academy has 44 entries against 140 pupils. Of 44 entries, 27 sit at grades 4 to 6 (13 at grade 4, 10 at grade 5, 4 at grade 6) and 5 at grades 7 to 9 (2, 3 and 0 at grades 7, 8 and 9). The remaining entries are 6 at grades 1 to 3, 4 ungraded (U), 2 listed as X.

Kingsmead School. Kingsmead School has 41 entries against 242 pupils. Of 41 entries, 16 sit at grades 4 to 6 (2 at grade 4, 6 at grade 5, 8 at grade 6) and 21 at grades 7 to 9 (9, 4 and 8 at grades 7, 8 and 9). The remaining entries are 4 at grades 1 to 3.

St John's Preparatory and Senior School. St John's Preparatory and Senior School has 38 entries against 47 pupils at the end of Key Stage 4. Of 38 entries, 21 sit at grades 4 to 6 (5 at grade 4, 3 at grade 5, 13 at grade 6) and 11 at grades 7 to 9 (6, 2 and 3 at grades 7, 8 and 9). The remaining entries are 2 at grades 1 to 3, 4 ungraded (U).

Lift Aylward. Lift Aylward has 30 entries against 218 pupils. Of 30 entries, 19 sit at grades 4 to 6 (3 at grade 4, 10 at grade 5, 6 at grade 6) and 9 at grades 7 to 9 (4, 2 and 3 at grades 7, 8 and 9). The remaining entries are 2 ungraded (U).

Which of the eight Enfield schools admit by selection?

GIAS, the government register of schools in England, records an admissions policy for each school. It lists The Latymer School as a voluntary aided school with a selective admissions policy, and St John's Preparatory and Senior School as an independent school with a selective admissions policy. Those two schools record 190 of 190 and 32 of 38 entries at grade 4 or above.

GIAS lists Southgate School, Edmonton County School, Wren Academy Enfield, The Lea Valley Academy, Kingsmead School and Lift Aylward as non-selective. Wren Academy Enfield records 45 of 45 entries at grade 4 or above and 27 at grade 7 or above; The Lea Valley Academy records 32 of 44 at grade 4 or above and 5 at grade 7 or above.

What about the other fifteen Enfield schools in the DfE table?

DfE's table lists fifteen more Enfield schools with a separate GCSE Biology row and fewer than 30 entries. Eleven carry a full grade breakdown, and this page gives their entry counts only.

The other four are listed by DfE with an entry total and no grade rows: Enfield Grammar School (3 entries), Salmons Brook School (5), Silverways School (4) and Alternative Centre of Education (2). DfE's notes say individual grade breakdowns are suppressed (not shown) where the total number of entries is 5 or fewer.

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.

What do these Biology counts not measure?

DfE labels the release provisional. The release page says DfE publishes no progress measures for the 2024/25 and 2025/26 academic years, because Key Stage 4 pupils in those years did not have Key Stage 2 assessments. These counts therefore record grades awarded and say nothing about how much a school added to a pupil's grade.

How does one-to-one online GCSE Biology tuition work for an Enfield pupil?

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.

The school rows above tell a tutor the size of the Biology group and where its grades sit, so a pupil at Southgate School, where 83 entries are spread across grades 4 to 9, starts from a different conversation than a pupil at Lift Aylward, with 30 entries. The programme itself is built from the pupil's own papers. The GCSE Biology tuition page covers the course and our biology tutoring service covers the wider offer.

Families in Enfield often look at more than one subject. Our GCSE maths tutors in Enfield and GCSE English tutors in Enfield pages read DfE's summer 2026 school figures for those subjects, and our tutors across Enfield page lists every Enfield subject. 91% of our students achieve their desired grades.
