Panshanger Primary School
Welwyn Garden City, AL7 1QY · Hertfordshire · primary school
76th 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 — 7.8/10 against 4,308 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
| 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 | 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 80.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023. 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 (7.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 240 pupils in a school with 240 places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With no spare capacity, how does the school manage waitlists for new starters? How does the breakfast club operate on days when the school is at full capacity? What specific support is available for the 10.0% of pupils who do not reach the expected standard?
