Hartford Junior School
Huntingdon, PE29 1UL · Cambridgeshire · primary school
120th of 197 primary schools in Cambridgeshire we can score, 210 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 — 3.6/10 against 2,300 of them, against 3.2/10 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.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 48.0 · 16 | 40% | 0.65 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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, 48.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% 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 (3.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.2 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2025.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs for gardening, computing, sewing, cookery, yoga, Lego, and tiddlywinks, alongside football, cricket, and dance. The school organises a trip to the Thinking Soldier war memorial. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 215 pupils in a capacity of 240, leaving 25 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 arrive without a breakfast club? What specific strategies are used to raise attainment from 48.0% towards the national median? How does the recent Good inspection influence current teaching priorities?
