About Nascot Wood Junior School

Nascot Wood Junior School’s headline metrics put it well ahead of the Hertfordshire local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 64%, Nascot Wood achieves 78% — a clear 14-point lead. This places the school in the top 25% nationally for that key measure, and 6th out of 22 primary schools in Watford specifically. The school is also one of 45 outstanding-rated primaries in Hertfordshire, a status it has held consistently across its two most recent Ofsted inspections, the latest of which took place in October 2023. That inspection awarded top marks across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management all rated outstanding. For parents comparing options within the local authority, Nascot Wood’s performance stands out as comfortably above the typical state primary in the area.
