About Boxmoor Primary School

Boxmoor Primary School in Dacorum was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2024, but the detail tells a more interesting story. Inspectors awarded the highest possible mark — Outstanding — in three separate categories: early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes. That’s a notable improvement from the school’s previous inspection in 2015, when early years provision was rated Good. The leadership and management and quality of education both remain Good. On the headline exam metric, 57% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 in 2023/24. That figure sits below the local authority average of 64%, placing the school 28th out of 47 primary schools in Dacorum and in the bottom half nationally. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects.
