SalaryAbout Haringey
DIVERSITY: Haringey is the 5th most ethnically diverse borough in the country. Over 65% of residents come from non-White British communities. 190 different languages are spoken in Haringey schools.
OFSTED: We are judged as ‘Overall ‘Good’ for the FIRST TIME in 2023, since the formation of Children’s Service following the 2004 Children Act! Ofsted say that since the last full inspection in 2018, when we were judged as Requires Improvement, “that much of the service is now transformed” and that “the transformation seen is making a positive difference to most children’s lives”.
Haringey had an Area SEND inspection in Feb 2024 of Haringey Local Area Partnership. This was a joint inspection by Ofsted and CQC of services and outcomes for children and young people with special educational needs and or disabilities. The inspectors gave Haringey the highest judgement, and found that, “the local area partnership’s special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) arrangements typically lead to positive experiences and outcomes for children and young people with SEND”.
