Check the area around this school
82nd of 337 primary schools in Hertfordshire we can score, 398 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 3,159 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.1/10 among them, against 8.0/10 nationally. 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Brookmans Park Primary School
Overview
Brookmans Park Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a safe and nurturing environment where pupils enjoy learning. The school sets high expectations, resulting in strong pupil achievement across the curriculum, particularly in English and mathematics. Leaders have established an ambitious curriculum with a strong focus on reading, ensuring most pupils leave key stage 1 reading fluently.
Strengths
- Pupils thrive in a supportive community where bullying is not an issue and adults are readily available to help resolve concerns.
- Reading is central to the curriculum, with staff adept at teaching sounds and providing focused support so that almost all pupils read fluently by the end of key stage 1.
- The school provides precise support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), enabling them to access the same curriculum as their peers and achieve well.
- Pupils develop into ‘good digital citizens’, understanding both the benefits and risks of information technology.
- Governors support and challenge leaders effectively, while staff feel well supported and proud to be part of the school community.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must continue to provide training and guidance for teachers so that all staff can confidently deliver the more-complex aspects of the newer curriculum, ensuring all pupils achieve as well as they can.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
