Almond Hill Junior School
Stevenage, SG1 3RP · Hertfordshire · primary school
100th of 340 primary schools in Hertfordshire we can score, 401 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 5.6/10 against 3,427 of them, against 5.4/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.62 |
| Ofsted | 90 | 35% | 3.17 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs for journalism, debating, and stop-frame animation, or play cross country, football, and netball. They also participate in choir, street dance, and violin lessons. The school offers a trip to Grafham Water, along with both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 347 pupils in a capacity of 360, leaving 13 spare places. With so few vacancies, places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? What specific activities are available in the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for children entering a nearly full year group?
