About Ashfield Junior School

Ashfield Junior School sits in the middle of the pack for Hertfordshire primary schools, and its headline Key Stage 2 results are almost exactly in line with the local authority average. The school achieved a 63% rate for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a county average of 64%. That puts Ashfield at 187th out of 401 primary schools in Hertfordshire, and 13th out of 29 schools in the smaller borough of Hertsmere. In national terms, it sits just below the 50th percentile, so it’s a solidly average performer rather than a standout. What’s more telling is the spread within subjects: reading and maths both saw average scaled scores of 107 and 106 respectively, but the proportion reaching the higher standard in those subjects was 41% and 29% — a noticeable gap that suggests the school is stronger at pushing pupils to greater depth in reading than in maths.
