Check the area around this school
38th of 337 primary schools in Hertfordshire we can score, 398 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.4/10 against 2,502 of them, against 7.3/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 90 | 35% | 3.17 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Wormley CofE Primary School
Overview
Wormley CofE Primary School is described as a "friendly and welcoming" institution where pupils "enjoy learning" and demonstrate "positive attitudes." The report highlights a "strong ethos of very effective collaboration" among staff and governors, with leaders maintaining a "clear and unwavering focus on establishing a culture of high expectations." Consequently, pupils are "well prepared for the next stage of their education," particularly those with barriers to learning.
Strengths
- Attendance has seen "clear improvements" due to "carefully designed systems" and "extremely careful" monitoring by leaders.
- The early years provision is "well organised," with leaders being "highly knowledgeable" and making "deliberate choices" to support children’s development.
- Staff provide "effective" support through "adapted, tailored, and responsive strategies," ensuring pupils with special educational needs engage positively.
- Pupils feel "safe, secure and well supported," with "positive and respectful relationships" and rare incidents of bullying.
- The curriculum places a "sharp focus on oracy and vocabulary development," helping pupils become "confident and fluent readers."
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure chosen teaching approaches are "implemented consistently" across all subjects, as practice does not yet reflect this fully.
- Staff must record reviews of provision "consistently well," as current complex systems do not allow leaders to measure progress as clearly as they could.
- Leaders should continue to embed the "assess, plan, do, review cycle" to use assessment effectively for vulnerable pupils.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" ensuring pupils are "made safer and feel safe."
