About Lordship Farm Primary School

Lordship Farm Primary School sits within Hertfordshire’s primary landscape as a Good-rated state school in North Hertfordshire, ranking 15th out of 38 primary schools in the local authority area. That places it comfortably in the top half of its immediate peers, though it sits behind the very highest-scoring schools in the district. The top three performers in the LA — Little Gaddesden Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, Harvey Road Primary School, and The Russell School — all achieved perfect ranking scores, setting a high benchmark. Lordship Farm’s own ranking score of 70 reflects solid, consistent performance rather than outlier excellence. The school is also one of 45 primary schools in Hertfordshire rated Outstanding, but it is not among them; the nearest Outstanding alternative is Highover Junior Mixed and Infant School, 2.4 kilometres away. For families weighing up local options, Lordship Farm offers a dependable alternative without the fierce competition for places that often accompanies Outstanding-rated schools.
