About Bengeo Primary School

Bengeo Primary School’s headline academic metrics sit well above the Hertfordshire local authority average for primary schools, which stands at 64 per cent for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. At Bengeo, that figure is 77 per cent — a clear 13-point gap that places the school firmly among the stronger performers in the area. Its ranking within East Hertfordshire is 8th out of 47 primary schools, putting it in the top 25 per cent nationally. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in September 2023, awarded it Outstanding across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That’s an upgrade from its previous Good rating in 2012, so the trajectory is clearly upward. With 450 pupils on roll against a capacity of 480, Bengeo is a popular choice, and the data backs that up.
