About All Saints Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, Datchworth
All Saints Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, Datchworth is a small state primary in Hertfordshire, ranking 5th out of 47 primary schools in the East Hertfordshire local authority area. That places it comfortably in the top 10% of schools locally, though it sits behind top-performing peers like Little Gaddesden Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, Harvey Road Primary School, and The Russell School, all of which achieved perfect ranking scores. With just 122 pupils against a capacity of 195, the school is notably undersubscribed in terms of physical space, yet it is heavily oversubscribed in practice: for 15 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 62 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4. 13. Only 14 first-preference offers were made from 16 first-preference applications, so demand is fierce despite the school's relatively small roll. Its Church of England character and rural Datchworth setting in East Hertfordshire make it a distinctive local option for families seeking a faith-based primary with strong community ties.
