About Bonneygrove Primary School

Bonneygrove Primary School sits in the top 25% of primary schools nationally for the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, with 75% hitting that benchmark. That figure is notably above the Hertfordshire local authority average of 64%, placing the school 76th out of 401 primary schools in the county. In Broxbourne specifically, it ranks 5th out of 26 schools, putting it comfortably in the top quintile for its immediate area. The school’s overall Ofsted rating is Good, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement in 2018. Every inspected category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — now scores Good, suggesting a school that has turned around effectively under headteacher Craig Hamilton.
