Sandon Junior Mixed and Infant School
Nr Buntingford, SG9 0QS · Hertfordshire · primary school
262nd 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 — 6.0/10 against 2,549 of them, against 5.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 5 | 35% | 0.19 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
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, 57.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 14.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in March 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Art Club and participate in swimming, Olympic/Paralympic Day, and Paralympic sports. Trips include a residential OAA and a visit to the Olympic Park. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 22 pupils in a capacity of 101 places, leaving 79 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to reach the higher standard in core subjects? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How does the small class size impact individual learning plans?
