Boxmoor Primary School

Hemel Hempstead, HP1 1PF · Hertfordshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
6.3/10 Broadly average

119th 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.

Narrow the comparison to the 2,256 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.9/10 among them, against 6.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 67.0 · 57 40% 2.28

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, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.9 out of 10 among them, against 6.9 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join clubs including Yoga, Tae-Kwando, Acro Dance, Cheer Club, Game On, Lingotot French, and Kew Dance. Sports options cover JP Pro football, Netball, Tag Rugby, Dodgeball, District Cross Country, and Girls Football. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.

Getting in. The school has 234 pupils in a capacity of 240, leaving 6 spare places. With so few vacancies, securing a spot is likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific support is available for children who need help settling into the competitive entry process? How are the various sports and clubs scheduled to avoid conflicts for busy families?
