St Mary's Rickmansworth CofE Primary School

Rickmansworth, WD3 1NY · Hertfordshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
4.4/10 Broadly average

225th 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 4,312 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.7/10 among them, against 4.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 56.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.7 out of 10 among them, against 4.0 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Cooking Club.

Getting in. The school has 190 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 20 spare places. This means 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 specific learning outcomes for the Cooking Club? How does the school manage the transition for Year 6 pupils given the current class sizes?
