Countess Anne Church of England School

Hatfield, AL10 8AX · Hertfordshire · primary school

Ofsted: Outstanding · 2025 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary Church of England
5.6/10 Broadly average

157th 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 4,166 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.6/10 among them, against 3.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in March 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.6 out of 10 among them, against 3.4 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs for cooking, crafts, construction toys, puzzles, Lego, small world toys, board games, table football, and Wi games. Trips include Cuffley Camp, Idwal Cottage, Snowdonia, Helvellyn, and the Lake District. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 208 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 2 spare places. The school is close to full, so 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 are the specific entry requirements for the 2 remaining places? How does the after-school club integrate with the curriculum?
