About Cockernhoe Endowed CofE Primary School

Cockernhoe Endowed CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in North Hertfordshire, and its headline academic metrics sit below the local authority average. The most recent Key Stage 2 data for Hertfordshire primary schools shows an average score of 64, but Cockernhoe’s own results are not available in the current dataset to make a direct comparison. What is clear from the school’s Ofsted report, however, is that the quality of education requires improvement — a rating that places it among the minority of schools in the area that have not achieved Good or Outstanding. Of the 401 primary schools in Hertfordshire, 45 are rated Outstanding, meaning the vast majority are at least Good. Cockernhoe’s Requires Improvement rating therefore stands out as below the typical standard for the local authority, though it is worth noting that the school has held a Good rating in the past, most recently in its 2013 inspection.
