Cassiobury Junior School
Watford, WD17 3PD · Hertfordshire · primary school
90th 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 2,050 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.2/10 among them, against 7.8/10 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% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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, 77.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.2 out of 10 among them, against 7.8 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Chess Challengers, Creative Minds Art Club, Gym Jams, Samurai Kickboxing, Watford Zumba, and the Nichola Rees Youth Academy. Sports include Cassiobury Juniors Tennis, while arts and music features the school choir, band, orchestra, and Hemel Hempstead Band. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 359 pupils in a capacity of 360, leaving just 1 spare place. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage entry when there is only 1 place available? What specific support is offered to pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How does the 2024 inspection report address the gap between the school’s performance and the national median?
