About Hartsfield Junior Mixed and Infant School

Hartsfield Junior Mixed and Infant School sits in North Hertfordshire, and its headline Key Stage 2 results put it well ahead of the local authority average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 academic year, 81% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Hertfordshire average of 64%. That gap of 17 percentage points is significant, and it’s reflected in the school’s ranking: second out of 38 primary schools in North Hertfordshire, placing it in the top 10% nationally. The school is also oversubscribed, with 91 applications for 60 places in 2025/26, and 58 of those 60 first-preference offers went to families who listed it as their top choice. It’s a state-funded, mixed primary for ages 4 to 11, with no religious character, and it currently holds a Good Ofsted rating following its most recent graded inspection in 2016 and an ungraded visit in January 2025 that confirmed standards were being maintained.
