Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Secondary Church of England
6.4/10 Broadly average

37th of 78 secondary schools in Hertfordshire we can score, 82 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 578 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4/10 among them, against 7.0/10 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, 53.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 50.5, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.24 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4 out of 10 among them, against 7.0 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in Duke of Edinburgh, Hope Days, and School Productions.

Getting in. The school has 1584 pupils in a capacity of 1507, meaning it is over capacity by 77. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity on a daily basis? What specific support is available for pupils who need to close the gap between their progress and national averages? How are the named activities like Hope Days integrated into the regular timetable?
