Hemel Hempstead, HP2 6HG · Hertfordshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
2.5/10 Below average

300th 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 — 0.8/10 against 2,357 of them, against 1.1/10 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.

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 2023/24, 43.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 63%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.1 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in 2023.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils access a swimming club and a breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 49 pupils in a capacity of 56 places, leaving 7 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities are available for children during the lunch break? How does the school plan to improve attainment in the coming year?
