About Greenway Primary and Nursery School

Greenway Primary and Nursery School sits in the middle of the pack in Hertfordshire, with 65% of its Year 6 pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year. That is one percentage point above the local authority average of 64% for primary schools, a modest but meaningful edge. The school ranks 176th out of 401 primary schools in Hertfordshire, placing it in the top half of the county. In the Dacorum borough specifically, it comes 18th out of 47 schools, putting it in the 38th percentile locally. Nationally, it sits around the 45th percentile. These are solid, middle-ground figures — not headline-grabbing, but comfortably above the LA norm, which is exactly the kind of steady performance many families are looking for when they want reliability over flash.
