Codicote Church of England Primary School

Hitchin, SG4 8YL · Hertfordshire · primary school

Mixed Primary Church of England
6.8/10 Above average

91st 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 — 7.1/10 against 4,067 of them, against 6.8/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 69.0 · 63 62% 3.86
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 13.0 · 78 38% 2.98

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 69.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 13.0%. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (7.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.8 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the 326 Club and Breakfast Club, play rounders, netball, football, tag rugby, basketball, athletics, golf, and curling, learn dance, and go on residential visits.

Getting in. There are 276 pupils in a school with 270 places, meaning it is over capacity by 6. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is currently over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How is the 326 Club structured for younger children?
