Hatfield Heath Primary School
Bishop's Stortford, CM22 7EA · Essex · primary school
90th of 391 primary schools in Essex we can score, 444 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 3,754 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.8/10 among them, against 7.6/10 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 74.0 · 76 | 40% | 3.02 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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, 74.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 13.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.8 out of 10 among them, against 7.6 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. The school has 206 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 4 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 4 places remaining, how does the school manage waiting lists for new starters? Since the similar-intake comparison shows a lower score than the national average, what specific support is offered to pupils who are not meeting expected standards? How does the school ensure continuity of care for families given its near-full status?
