Check the area around this school
130th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 6.6/10 against 4,083 of them, against 6.5/10 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

The higher standard was reached by 3.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2024.

What Ofsted said about Leverstock Green Church of England Primary School
Overview
Leverstock Green Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by a "warm and welcoming" atmosphere where pupils are "well cared for and are safe." The report highlights a "calm and focused atmosphere" driven by high expectations for behaviour and a curriculum that is "broad and ambitious," enabling pupils to become "confident and independent learners."
Strengths
- The school’s core values of "love, respect and forgiveness" create a strong culture of "positive behaviour and mutual respect."
- Teachers use subject expertise to deliver a curriculum with clearly set out knowledge, resulting in pupils producing "work of a high standard."
- Early reading is prioritised effectively, with staff expertise in phonics helping pupils become "capable and enthusiastic readers."

- Pupils enjoy a "well-rounded and rich school experience" through varied clubs, visits, and leadership roles such as "STEM ambassadors" and "eco-warriors."
Areas to improve
- Teachers must ensure pupils are "secure in their understanding" of important knowledge before moving on to new content, as some misconceptions are not addressed quickly enough.
- Teaching adaptations for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) must be more precise to ensure they "consistently adapt their teaching to precisely meet the individual needs" of all such pupils.
