Little Gaddesden Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School

Berkhamsted, HP4 1NX · Hertfordshire · primary school

Mixed Primary Church of England
7.2/10 Above average

67th of 340 primary schools in Hertfordshire we can score, 401 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 4,078 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.4/10 among them, against 7.2/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 79.0 · 86 62% 5.28
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 7.0 · 51 38% 1.96

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, 79.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.4 out of 10 among them, against 7.2 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Street Dancing, French, Art, and Choir clubs, or participate in Running, Dodgeball, Football, and Yoga. Music lessons include guitar, piano, drums, recorder, and flute. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.

Getting in. The school has 109 pupils in a capacity of 105, meaning it is over capacity by 4. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is currently over capacity? What specific support is offered to pupils who do not reach the expected standard? How are the various music and sports clubs scheduled to avoid conflicts with core lessons?
