About Haileybury Turnford

Haileybury Turnford's headline Progress 8 score of -0.05 sits below the Hertfordshire local authority average of 0.18, placing it in the bottom half of schools in the county. That said, the school's 'Average' banding for Progress 8 means it is not significantly underperforming nationally, and the picture is more nuanced than the headline suggests. In maths, for instance, pupils achieve a Progress 8 score of +0.27, comfortably above the LA average, while English drags the overall figure down at -0.38. The school ranks 5th out of 7 secondary schools in Broxbourne, and 51st out of 86 across Hertfordshire. It is worth noting that the nearest Outstanding-rated school, The Broxbourne School, is just 3.2 km away, so families in the area do have a higher-rated alternative nearby.
