Check the area around this school
56th of 337 primary schools in Hertfordshire we can score, 398 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 1,696 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.6/10 among them, against 8.7/10 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 16.0 · 85 | 25% | 2.13 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Hertsmere Jewish Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school with a “vibrant ‘buzz’ and community spirit” where pupils are “eager to learn” and develop confidence. Leaders have established a “happy and inclusive culture” with an “ambitious curriculum” that generally supports high standards of achievement and behaviour.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate “kind, respectful relationships” with staff and peers, showing they are “accepting of difference” and “proud to be themselves.”
- Teachers in most subjects “select activities and resources carefully” so pupils “remember and build on key concepts,” addressing misconceptions promptly.
- The school is “quick to spot pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND)” and adapts lessons well to enable them to “join in with learning alongside their peers.”
- Pupils are “well prepared for later life,” learning about healthy lifestyles, online safety, and democracy through the school council.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, the curriculum is “not consistently well embedded,” meaning some pupils have not achieved as well as they could; staff require better guidance and support.
- Some extra support for pupils is “not precisely matched to their needs,” leading to persistent gaps in learning; staff need expertise to provide appropriate support and monitor its effectiveness.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
