About Bridgewater Primary School

Bridgewater Primary School sits comfortably above the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 75% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to the Hertfordshire average of 64%. That eleven-point gap is significant for a state primary, and it places the school in the top quarter nationally for this measure. The school’s ranking within Dacorum is 6th out of 47 primary schools, putting it in the top 13% locally, and it also performs well regionally, sitting in the top 17% of East of England primaries. This is a school that consistently delivers above-average results without being a selective or faith school, which makes its performance stand out against the LA baseline.
