36th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.6/10 against 3,598 of 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 62% | 4.35 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 24.0 · 95 | 38% | 3.67 |
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 Flamstead End School
Overview
Flamstead End School is described as a "happy and inclusive place" where staff "support and nurture pupils well." The inspection highlights "exceptional early education" and "outstanding" personal development, with pupils feeling "safe, valued and confident." While the curriculum is generally "thoughtfully designed," the report identifies specific inconsistencies in teaching activities for some subjects and pupils with special educational needs.
Strengths
- Pupils’ "personal development" is a priority, fostering "confident, well-rounded individuals" through leadership roles and inclusive initiatives.
- The "early years provision" is "exceptional," building "strong foundations in communication, language and number."
- The reading curriculum promotes a "love of reading" through "rich vocabulary" and engaging events, with staff providing "timely support."
- Pupils "follow routines well," attend regularly, and demonstrate "mutual respect and trust" with adults.
- Leaders provide a "clear and strategic vision," ensuring staff feel "well supported" and the school is committed to improving "pupils’ life chances."
Areas to improve
- In "a few of the foundation subjects," activities do not always help pupils learn the "intended curriculum" effectively; the school should ensure these activities help build knowledge "securely over time."
- For some pupils with SEND, learning activities are "not well matched to their individual needs and targets"; the school should ensure lessons are tailored to specific goals to improve achievement.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
