Richard Whittington Primary School
Bishop's Stortford, CM23 3NP · Hertfordshire · primary school
44th 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 — 9.4/10 against 4,158 of them, against 9.1/10 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 | 24.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.38 |
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%. 24.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2024. 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 (9.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join an American Football club. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 288 pupils in a school with 330 places, leaving 42 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the American Football club fit into the weekly timetable? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the school support pupils who need extra help to reach the higher standard?
