Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Secondary
2.5/10 Below average

68th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.1/10 against 740 of them, against 3.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. In 2024/25, 39.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 42.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.37 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.1 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. There are 1415 pupils in a school with 1500 places, leaving 85 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are falling behind in English and maths? What specific extracurricular opportunities are available for students to join? How does the school manage the transition for new arrivals given the current pupil numbers?
