GCSE English Tutor Enfield: 2026 Grades, School by School

Leading Tuition's GCSE English tutors in Enfield are expert one-to-one online teachers who start from the weaker of a pupil's two English GCSEs, because DfE's provisional summer 2026 data put grade 4+ in English Language at 47.2% at Laurel Park School (127 entries) and 100.0% at The Latymer School (190 entries).

Enfield means the London borough, DfE's local authority 308. English Language and English Literature are separate GCSEs with separate grades, and DfE's table lists 22 Enfield schools with 30 or more entries in each of them.

How did Enfield's schools do in GCSE English Language in summer 2026?

Table 1 is English Language only, GCSE (9-1) full course. Each row gives the school's English Language entries, its pupils at the end of Key Stage 4, and the entries graded 4 or above and 7 or above with each as a share of entries. Schools are listed alphabetically, so the table is not a ranking.

Eight of the 22 schools have a grade 4+ share of 80% or more in English Language: Enfield County School for Girls (149 of 181), Highlands School (208 of 238), Southgate School (194 of 233), St Anne's Catholic High School for Girls (149 of 176), St Ignatius College (138 of 157), St John's Preparatory and Senior School (44 of 47), The Latymer School (190 of 190) and Wren Academy Enfield (155 of 183). Five are below 60%: AIM Academy North London (57 of 105), Chace Community School (74 of 145), Laurel Park School (60 of 127), Oasis Academy Enfield (80 of 136) and The Lea Valley Academy (70 of 138).

Added together, the 22 schools made 3,864 English Language entries and 2,783 were graded 4 or above, which is 72.0%. That is a sum of these schools' own counts, not DfE's figure for the local authority. At grade 7 or above the shares run from 6.5% at The Lea Valley Academy (9 of 138) to 80.5% at The Latymer School (153 of 190), with 48.9% at St John's Preparatory and Senior School (23 of 47).

How did the same schools do in GCSE English Literature?

Table 2 is English Literature only, GCSE (9-1) full course, laid out the same way. English Literature entries are a different count from English Language entries at the same school, so the two tables are never added together.

Ten of the 22 schools have a grade 4+ share of 80% or more in English Literature: Ark John Keats Academy (145 of 175), Enfield County School for Girls (153 of 177), Highlands School (204 of 238), Kingsmead School (190 of 236), Southgate School (201 of 232), St Anne's Catholic High School for Girls (157 of 176), St Ignatius College (139 of 155), St John's Preparatory and Senior School (43 of 43), The Latymer School (189 of 190) and Wren Academy Enfield (164 of 183). One is below 60%: Laurel Park School (65 of 127). The Latymer School's share is 99.5% (189 of 190), and St John's Preparatory and Senior School has 100.0% (43 of 43).

Added together, the 22 schools made 3,805 English Literature entries and 2,920 were graded 4 or above, which is 76.7%. At grade 7 or above the shares run from 8.3% at The Lea Valley Academy (11 of 132) to 75.8% at The Latymer School (144 of 190).

Which English GCSE should an Enfield tutor start with?

Table 3 puts the two grade 4+ shares side by side for each school, with the difference in percentage points, Literature minus Language. The difference is calculated from the counts, not from the rounded shares, and a negative figure means the Language share is higher.

The Literature share is higher than the Language share at 20 of the 22 schools. At five schools it is higher by 9.8 points or more: Chace Community School and Oasis Academy Hadley (+12.0 each), The Lea Valley Academy (+9.9), AIM Academy North London and Oasis Academy Enfield (+9.8 each). Heron Hall Academy has the smallest positive difference, +0.6.

The Language share is the higher one at two schools: Highlands School (87.4% in Language against 85.7% in Literature, a difference of -1.7) and The Latymer School (100.0% against 99.5%, -0.5).

What does 100% at The Latymer School tell a family elsewhere in Enfield?

The Government's register of schools, GIAS, records The Latymer School's admissions policy as selective. It records St John's Preparatory and Senior School as an independent school with a selective admissions policy. In English Language those two schools sit at 100.0% and 93.6%. The other 20 schools run from 47.2% at Laurel Park School to 87.9% at St Ignatius College, set against the 47.2% to 100% range for all 22.

For a comparison from the same register, GIAS lists these six schools as non-selective, with their English Language grade 4+ share: Bishop Stopford's School (62.9%, 105 entries), Enfield County School for Girls (82.3%, 181 entries), Enfield Grammar School (66.3%, 178 entries), St Anne's Catholic High School for Girls (84.7%, 176 entries), St Ignatius College (87.9%, 157 entries) and Wren Academy Enfield (84.7%, 183 entries).

English Literature shows the same split. The other 20 schools run from 51.2% at Laurel Park School to 89.7% at St Ignatius College, against 99.5% at The Latymer School and 100.0% at St John's Preparatory and Senior School. Grade 7+ separates the top of the range further: 80.5% of The Latymer School's English Language entries were graded 7 or above (153 of 190).

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 entries compare with pupils at the end of Key Stage 4?

DfE counts the pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 separately from the entries in each qualification, and the tables show both. In English Literature, Chace Community School has 138 entries against 147 pupils, Winchmore School 229 against 239, Edmonton County School 260 against 268, The Lea Valley Academy 132 against 140 and Kingsmead School 236 against 242. In English Language, Winchmore School has 233 entries against 239 pupils.

Each share on this page is therefore a share of the entries DfE lists for that qualification at that school. It is not a share of the year group, and a school with fewer entries than pupils may have entered pupils for qualifications outside DfE's GCSE (9-1) full-course table.

DfE's table lists 29 Enfield schools with English Language entries and 24 with English Literature entries. Seven of the 29 have fewer than 30 entries in English Language: Alternative Centre of Education (1 entry), Durants School (2), Fern House School (3), Focus 1st Academy (10), Oaktree School (3), Silverways School (9) and West Lea School (4). They are left out of the tables because a share of a handful of entries is not comparable with a share of 100 or more.

What can these figures not tell an Enfield family?

DfE labels the release provisional. It was published on 15 October 2026 as version 2.0 of the school-level subject data, and any approved result amendments that schools requested have not been applied.

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.

A school's share describes its whole entry for a qualification. It does not describe one pupil, and a pupil's own marked essays and mock papers show more about where a gap sits than any school-level figure.

How do Leading Tuition's tutors teach GCSE English to Enfield 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, using marked work from both English GCSEs, and the weaker of English Language and English Literature takes the first block of sessions. The tutor then works through that pupil's own 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.

A pupil sitting both GCSEs can have both courses in the same programme. The GCSE English Language tuition page and the GCSE English Literature tuition page cover the two courses in detail, and our GCSE maths tutors in Enfield page reads DfE's maths grades for the same schools. The figures above come from DfE's 2025/26 key stage 4 performance release. 91% of Leading Tuition students achieve their desired grades.
