The Reddings Primary School

Hemel Hempstead, HP3 8DX · Hertfordshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary
3.4/10 Below average

265th 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 — 2.3/10 against 2,336 of them, against 2.4/10 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 57.0 · 32 40% 1.29
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81

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, 57.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.4 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2024.

Getting in. The school has 208 pupils in a capacity of 240, leaving 32 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 not reaching the higher standard in core subjects? What specific activities or trips are available to pupils this term? How does the school manage the transition for children moving from Year 6?
