St Paul's Church of England Primary School, Langleybury

Kings Langley, WD4 8RJ · Hertfordshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
7.9/10 Above average

38th 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 — 9.5/10 against 4,293 of them, against 9.4/10 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 86.0 · 95 40% 3.79

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, 86.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 21.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 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 (9.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.4 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join an after-school choir, participate in OPAL activities, House Festivals Week, and competitive sporting events, and learn steel pans, keyboard, drums, flute, clarinet, and guitar. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 226 pupils in a capacity of 236, leaving 10 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific support is offered to the 21.0% who reach the higher standard? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 10 places remaining?
