St Thomas More Roman Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy
Berkhamsted, HP4 3LF · Hertfordshire · primary school
273rd 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 3,795 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.3/10 among them, against 5.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 25% | 1.85 |
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, 58.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 12.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in June 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.3 out of 10 among them, against 5.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in swimming, gymnastics, dance, athletics, outdoor and adventurous activities, music lessons, and the School Council. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 178 pupils in a building with 240 places, leaving 62 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in core subjects? What provision exists for children who need care before or after the school day? How has the teaching quality changed since the 2023 inspection?
