Top of the Class: Outstanding Local Schools
When choosing a home, the Borough of Barnet stands out as an exceptional choice for families, offering a wide range of outstanding schools and continues to lead the way in education as the 2025/2026 academic year approaches. In 2023/2024 Key Stage 1 pupils achieved an 83% pass rate in phonics, while combined Key Stage 2 results in reading, writing and mathematics rank in the top 20% nationwide.
The borough is home to 24 high performing schools, according to the Department of Education’s ratings. At the top of the list is Queen Elizabeth’s School in Barnet, named the best in the country for 2025 by The Real School Guide. This top-performing grammar school consistently delivers exceptional academic results, with 98% of A-level grades at A*–B for the 20th consecutive year.
For families choosing Silkstream, this educational excellence is right on its doorstep. The development is surrounded by a diverse range of private preparatory and secondary schools, including multi-faith independent institutions such as Brampton College, Hendon Preparatory School, and Nancy Reuben Primary School.
