Mixed Primary
7.9/10 Above average

36th 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.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 7.9/10 against 4,352 of them, against 7.9/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 73.0 · 73 62% 4.51
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 18.0 · 89 38% 3.43

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, 73.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 18.0% reached the higher standard. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (7.9 out of 10 either way).

Beyond the classroom. The school offers a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 211 pupils in a school with 236 places, leaving 25 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for children moving from the nursery to the main school?

Your offer chance

Based on official applications/offers, distance and catchment where we have it. Bands only — never a percentage.

Sibling, faith, looked-after and other criteria can override distance. Always confirm with the school or local authority.
