Ofsted: Good · 2022 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
7.2/10 Above average

66th 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 — 8.2/10 against 4,306 of them, against 8.3/10 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 74.0 · 76 40% 3.02

Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 22.0 · 94 25% 2.35

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, 74.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 22.0%. 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 (8.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.3 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Rising Stars, Happy Little Yogi, Junior Park Run, Dance, Table Tennis, and enter the Colour the Underpass and Wicked competitions. They visit the Henry Moore studios and gardens. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 236 pupils in a capacity of 241, leaving 5 spare places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist with only 5 places remaining? What specific support is offered to pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How are the breakfast and after-school clubs structured to support daily routines?
