About Graveley Primary School

Graveley Primary School is a Church of England primary in North Hertfordshire, part of the Hertfordshire local authority. Among the 38 primary schools in its immediate local area, it ranks 7th, placing it comfortably in the top 25% of schools in North Hertfordshire. Its closest high-performing peers include Little Gaddesden Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, Harvey Road Primary School, and The Russell School, all of which sit at the very top of the local rankings. The school is relatively small, with 98 pupils on roll against a capacity of 112, and it has a Church of England religious character. Headteacher Nicky Hand leads a mixed-gender, state-funded primary for children aged 4 to 11. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was rated Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — maintaining the same overall Good rating it held in its previous inspection a decade earlier.
