Harvey Road Primary School
Rickmansworth, WD3 3BN · Hertfordshire · primary school
4th 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 — 9.4/10 against 2,100 of them, against 9.6/10 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 | 87.0 · 96 | 40% | 3.82 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 29.0 · 98 | 25% | 2.44 |
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, 87.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 29.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in January 2024. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the School Council, Eco-Battlers, and Skills Academy. Sports include swimming, tennis, sailing, canoeing, surfing, high ropes, abseiling, and tri-golf. Trips go to Snowdonia. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 240 pupils in a capacity of 210, meaning it is over capacity by 30. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is 30 places over capacity? What specific support is provided for pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How are the extensive outdoor sports activities scheduled within the weekly timetable?
