About Edwinstree Church of England Middle School

Edwinstree Church of England Middle School is a state secondary for pupils aged 9 to 13 in East Hertfordshire, and the numbers suggest parents are broadly happy with what it offers. The school is oversubscribed, with 485 pupils on roll against a capacity of 480, indicating that demand slightly exceeds places. In its most recent ungraded Ofsted inspection in 2024, the school was confirmed to remain Good, a notable improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2018, where it had been rated Requires Improvement. The inspection report highlighted Good ratings for both overall effectiveness and leadership and management. While the school does not publish a parent view recommendation percentage in the data, the oversubscription alone signals that local families are actively choosing it. The school’s Church of England character adds a layer of community identity, though the data does not specify how this shapes daily life. For parents weighing up options, the combination of a Good rating and strong local demand provides a solid starting point.
