Offley Endowed Primary School and Nursery
Hitchin, SG5 3AT · Hertfordshire · primary school
68th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.7/10 against 3,998 of them, against 8.2/10 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 25% | 1.85 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Beyond the classroom. The school offers a breakfast club and the Jesters After School Club.
Getting in. There are 159 pupils in a school with 140 places, meaning it is over capacity by 19. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for new starters when it is operating above its designated capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in core subjects? How is the Jesters After School Club structured to support learning after the school day ends?
