St Michael's Woolmer Green CofE VA Primary School
Woolmer Green, SG3 6JP · Hertfordshire · primary school
79th 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 — 7.8/10 against 4,274 of them, against 7.9/10 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 | 82.0 · 90 | 40% | 3.62 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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, 82.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2022. 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 (7.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Bible Club, play football, tag rugby, and skip, and visit the Saltmine Theatre, a WWII memorial, and a synagogue. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 186 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 24 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific steps are taken to raise the 9.0% who reach the higher standard? How does the school manage the transition for children joining a school that is fairly full?
