Chipping Barnet pairs state schools where pupils progress faster than in most of the capital with enough everyday places within a walk to score among the stronger in London — the trade-off is the independent scene, which runs thinner here than across the city.
Overall: above the London average on the six things we score
vs the rest of London
Every band is relative to other London areas — a high band means quieter or greener than most of London, not quiet or green in absolute terms. How we score.
For families weighing the independent route, there is also a private school in or close to the area — shown for context, never scored.
The nearest station is High Barnet (London Underground), a short walk from the area's centre.
