About All Saints Church of England Primary School and Nursery, Bishop's Stortford

All Saints Church of England Primary School and Nursery in Bishop’s Stortford holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The school’s most recent graded inspection took place in 2014, and an ungraded visit in 2023 confirmed it “remains Good.” The most telling exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 39% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well below the Hertfordshire local authority average of 64%, and the school ranks 43rd out of 47 primary schools in East Hertfordshire on this measure. Just 10% of pupils achieved the higher standard in maths, and 4% in writing, though reading fared better at 28%. The school’s average scaled scores were 103 in maths and 104 in reading, both close to the national benchmark of 100.

Digging deeper into the KS2 breakdown, 69% of pupils met the expected standard in maths individually, 59% in reading and 61% in writing. These figures show that while the combined measure is low, individual subject performance is more mixed. The school does not publish Progress 8 data, so it is not possible to see how much value it adds relative to pupils’ starting points. Ofsted’s 2014 inspection rated leadership and management as Good, and the early years provision was given a grade 2 (Good) in 2009. With 206 pupils on roll and a capacity of 212, the school is nearly full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 10.4%, slightly below the national average for primary schools. The school’s Church of England character is reflected in its on-site chapel.

The school offers a range of facilities including a forest school, sensory room, music rooms, sports hall and playing fields. Clubs include eco club, choir, chess and film club, while sports on offer are football, netball, tennis, athletics, rounders, dance and cross country. The school provides nursery provision for children from age three. Its SEND support covers specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, speech, language and communication needs, social and emotional mental health needs, and visual impairment. For the 2025/26 intake, the school was oversubscribed: 70 applications for 21 places, with 18 first-preference offers made. The nearest Outstanding-rated primary is Windhill21, 1.5 km away. This school will suit families who value a church school environment with a broad range of enrichment activities, but who are aware that its academic outcomes in the most recent data are below the local average.
