About Knebworth Primary and Nursery School
Knebworth Primary and Nursery School sits within Hertfordshire’s large primary landscape, where it ranks 22nd out of 38 schools in the North Hertfordshire local authority area, placing it in the top half of its immediate peers. The school’s ranking score of 66 puts it behind the three top-performing local primaries — Little Gaddesden Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, Harvey Road Primary School, and The Russell School — but ahead of many others in the district. Nationally, it sits at 5,864th out of 13,686 primary schools, a solid mid-table position. The school is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. It currently has 404 pupils against a capacity of 430, and 9. 8% of its pupils are eligible for free school meals, slightly below the national average. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2023, confirmed that the school remains Good, a rating it has held consistently across its previous graded inspections.
