Sawbridgeworth, CM21 9BY · Hertfordshire · secondary school
47th of 78 secondary schools in Hertfordshire we can score, 82 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 568 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.6/10 among them, against 5.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 47.0 · 58 | 30% | 1.75 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.05 · 54 | 25% | 1.35 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 49.6 · 69 | 10% | 0.69 |
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. The school was rated Good by Ofsted in May 2024. In 2024/25, 47.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 49.6, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.05 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.6 out of 10 among them, against 5.8 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the LevSingers Choir, Diverted Traffic, Starstruck, Faultline, New FUNKtion, and FUNKy Frog Hat Collective. Sports include football, netball, and rugby. Trips range from GCSE Geography field trips to Walton-on-the-Naze and A Level Drama theatre visits to Bronze and Silver DofE expeditions.
Getting in. There are 1471 pupils in a school with 1580 places, leaving 109 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help to reach the national median in attainment? What specific support is available for students aiming for A Level Drama or Geography? How does the school manage the transition for pupils moving from Year 11 to Sixth Form?
