Check the area around this school
161st 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 3,755 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.1/10 among them, against 5.7/10 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 | 65.0 · 52 | 40% | 2.07 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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 Kings Langley Primary School
Overview
Kings Langley Primary School continues to be a good school, offering a strong sense of community where pupils feel happy and safe. The curriculum is carefully planned and ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, with teachers providing clear explanations and effective support.
Strengths
- Pupils are friendly, behave well, and strive to meet high expectations, motivated by a ‘star awards’ system that recognises school values.
- The curriculum is broken into manageable chunks taught in a logical sequence, allowing pupils to build learning gradually from the early years.
- Teachers are confident in their subjects, model examples clearly, and promptly identify pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities to provide appropriate support.
- The school promotes a love of reading through inspiring books and daily phonics sessions, ensuring most pupils become confident readers by the end of key stage 1.
- Governors work closely with leaders to hold them to account and support staff well-being, while pupils develop resilience and confidence through wider activities.
Areas to improve
- Subject leaders’ oversight of the curriculum’s effectiveness could be stronger, as current checks do not always identify necessary improvements for pupil progress.
- The school should ensure all subject leaders carry out a range of checks on the curriculum to identify and make improvements.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
