About Oakmere Primary School

Oakmere Primary School in Hertsmere serves a notably diverse intake, with 36. 3% of pupils eligible for free school meals, well above the national average for primary schools. Its headline Key Stage 2 results present a mixed picture against the local authority average. While the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 49%, this is 15 percentage points below the Hertfordshire average of 64%. The school ranks 270th out of 401 primary schools in the county, placing it in the bottom half locally. However, individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story: 69% of pupils met the expected standard in writing and 66% in maths, with maths achieving a higher average scaled score of 103. Reading, at 51% expected, is the weaker area. The proportion achieving the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined is just 9%, and the school ranks 23rd out of 29 primary schools within the narrower Hertsmere district.
