St Ippolyts Church of England Aided Primary School
Hitchin, SG4 7PB · Hertfordshire · primary school
93rd 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 — 7.6/10 against 4,274 of them, against 7.8/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 13.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 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 (7.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in netball, football, hockey, rounders, cricket, archery, boccia, table tennis, and dance. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 161 pupils in a capacity of 140, meaning it is over capacity by 21. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for children arriving at a school that is over capacity? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How does the breakfast club integrate with the morning curriculum?
