About Little Hadham Primary School

Little Hadham Primary School sits in a strong position when you compare its headline Key Stage 2 results against the Hertfordshire local authority average. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 64 per cent, but Little Hadham achieves 71 per cent — a clear seven-point advantage. That gap widens further at the higher standard, where 14 per cent of pupils hit that top tier compared with a county average that sits lower. The school’s reading and maths average scores of 109 and 107 respectively are solid, and the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in reading is particularly striking at 62 per cent. In writing, 86 per cent of pupils met the expected standard, matching the reading figure, while maths saw 81 per cent. These results place Little Hadham 18th out of 47 primary schools in East Hertfordshire, putting it comfortably in the top half of its local authority.
