Spellbrook CofE Primary School
Bishop's Stortford, CM23 4BA · Hertfordshire · primary school
258th 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 — 4.8/10 against 4,025 of them, against 5.0/10 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 40% | 0.96 |
| Ofsted | 9 | 35% | 0.32 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 25% | 2.30 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 53.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. 20.0% reached the higher standard.

Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2026.
Beyond the classroom. A breakfast club is available for pupils.
Getting in. The school has 105 pupils in a capacity of 120 places, leaving 15 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 below the expected standard in maths? What are the plans for the after-school period, given that no club is currently offered? How does the recent inspection feedback influence current teaching strategies?
