Hertford St Andrew CofE Primary School
About Hertford St Andrew CofE Primary School
Hertford St Andrew CofE Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, including a graded inspection in 2019 and an ungraded inspection in December 2024. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where just 33% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well below the Hertfordshire local authority average of 64% and places the school 44th out of 47 primary schools in East Hertfordshire. In reading, 61% of pupils reached the expected level and 17% achieved a higher standard, while maths saw 50% at expected and only 6% at the higher level. Writing was notably weaker, with 33% at expected and none reaching the higher threshold. The school’s average maths scaled score was 99, and reading averaged 103, suggesting that while some pupils perform solidly, overall attainment is a clear area for development.
