Results below include those reported under the school’s previous registration: The Henrietta Barnett School (URN 101354, until 1 April 2012).
What the data says
Of the 104 pupils who finished Year 11 at The Henrietta Barnett School in 2023, 100% stayed on in The Henrietta Barnett School’s own sixth form (Barnet average 63%), none went to a further education college and none started an apprenticeship.
Among the 142 students who left the sixth form in 2023, 79% went to university (Barnet 55%, England 37%), and 86% of level 3 students progressed to one of the most selective universities, against 19% nationally.
GCSE results in 2025 were well above the national picture: Attainment 8 of 87.3 against 46.1 across England and 56.7 in Barnet, with 100% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%) — as a selective grammar school, The Henrietta Barnett School admits pupils by test at 11, which drives these figures.
A level grades average A, well above the England average of B-; 70% of students achieved AAB or better including two facilitating subjects (England 18%). The largest A level subjects are Mathematics, Chemistry and Further Mathematics.
