St Cross Catholic Primary School
Hoddesdon, EN11 8BN · Hertfordshire · primary school
299th 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 the 2,677 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.3/10 among them, against 1.2/10 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 | 45.0 · 13 | 40% | 0.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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, 45.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.3 out of 10 among them, against 1.2 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Board Games, Reading Club, Howler Club, Dance/Drama, Mini Games, Fitness Club, Netball Club, and Girls football Club. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 202 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 8 spare places. With so few vacancies, securing a place is likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help to reach the expected standard in maths? What are the specific times and locations for the various clubs? How does the school manage the transition for children when places are limited?
