Check the area around this school
125th 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 3,159 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.2/10 among them, against 6.7/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| 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 Little Green Junior School
Overview
Little Green Junior School continues to be a good school, described as an "exciting place to learn" where pupils enjoy a "hands-on" approach. Leaders have established a clear curriculum with broken-down knowledge steps, and pupils generally achieve well, demonstrating high levels of concentration and positive relationships with adults.
Strengths
- Pupils are confident, behave well, and have a "solid understanding of how to manage their emotions and feelings."
- The curriculum is well-structured in many subjects, with teachers explaining concepts clearly and using questioning to "target gaps in pupils’ understanding."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "well supported," with staff highly skilled at adapting the curriculum to foster independence.
- Reading development is strong, with pupils receiving targeted support to become "confident fluent readers" through well-matched books.
- Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with staff receiving up-to-date training and competently spotting concerns to keep pupils safe.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not consistently check what pupils have remembered before moving on, leading to knowledge gaps.
- Some staff lack the subject knowledge needed to teach certain curriculum content effectively, preventing pupils from developing a secure understanding.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving up-to-date training and working with partner agencies to support pupils and families.
