About Hartsbourne Primary School

Hartsbourne Primary School’s headline metrics place it comfortably above the Hertfordshire local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined (RWM) sits at 64%, Hartsbourne achieves 73% — a nine-point advantage that puts it in the top 25% of schools nationally on this measure. The school ranks 7th out of 29 primaries in the Hertsmere borough, placing it in the top quarter locally. Its Progress 8 scores are not available in the data, but the raw attainment figures tell a clear story: reading and maths average scores of 109 and 108 respectively are strong, and the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading (90%) and maths (87%) is notably high. This suggests a school where most children are meeting or exceeding age-related expectations, particularly in reading, where half of all pupils achieved the higher standard.
