Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Needs attention Mixed Primary
4.2/10 Broadly average

234th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.1/10 against 2,606 of them, against 6.1/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 75.0 · 78 40% 3.11
Ofsted 7 35% 0.23
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 4.0 · 35 25% 0.88

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, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.1 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2026.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in Glow Dance and Sports Day. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 224 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 14. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for new starters when it is operating over its stated capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How are the breakfast and after-school clubs structured to support families with varying work schedules?
