Aldbury Church of England Primary and Nursery School
About Aldbury Church of England Primary and Nursery School
Aldbury Church of England Primary and Nursery School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its graded inspections. The school’s most informative exam metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, where 50% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. This places the school below the Hertfordshire local authority average of 64%, and it ranks 268th out of 401 primary schools of the same type in the county. In the Dacorum borough, it sits 34th out of 47 schools, putting it in the bottom half locally. Nationally, the school ranks in the 77th percentile, meaning roughly a quarter of primary schools across England perform better on this measure. The data suggests that while Aldbury is a solidly Good school, its academic outcomes at Key Stage 2 are not among the strongest in the area.
