iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to Livingstone Primary and Nursery School.. We are a small and friendly one-form entry school in New Barnet set in extensive grounds with spacious classrooms and excellent outdoor facilities on the edge of Hadley Wood.
At Livingstone, we are one big family because although it is a school, it's also a community where we feel secure, valued and grateful for the time we have or will spend there. We all contribute to this as the teachers are kind and dedicated, planning enjoyable, creative lessons while the children do their best to listen and learn.
The minute you step through the doors of the school, you feel loved and in the right place, that is why new students or visitors are warmly welcomed with open arms.
