St Albans, AL1 4LW · Hertfordshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
7.6/10 Above average

46th 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 2,905 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.3/10 among them, against 8.9/10 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, 78.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 28.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.3 out of 10 among them, against 8.9 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils access a wide range of music clubs including piano, drums, guitar, ukelele, flute, violin, clarinet, and saxophone. Sports options cover netball, football, cross-country, and athletics. Trips include Phasels Wood Activity Centre and PGL Liddington. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 353 pupils in a capacity of 360, leaving 7 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the competitive entry process with only 7 places remaining? What specific support is offered to pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How are the music and sports clubs scheduled to ensure they do not conflict with core lessons?
