About Bournehall Primary School

Bournehall Primary School’s headline metrics present a mixed picture when compared against the Hertfordshire local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (the combined RWM measure) sits at 64%, Bournehall achieves a slightly lower 61%. However, this headline figure masks some real strengths. In reading, a remarkable 97% of pupils met the expected standard, and 45% reached the higher standard — both well above what you might typically expect. Writing also performed strongly, with 88% hitting the expected mark and 16% reaching the higher threshold. Maths was the weaker area, with 71% at the expected level and 32% at the higher level. The school’s average scaled scores tell a similar story: reading averaged 108, while maths averaged 105. In the Hertsmere local area ranking, Bournehall places 16th out of 29 primary schools, putting it in the bottom half of its immediate competitors.
