About Oxhey Wood Primary School

Oxhey Wood Primary School’s headline KS2 results sit comfortably above the local authority average for primary schools in Hertfordshire. The most recent data shows 72% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a county average of 64%. That eight-point gap is a meaningful one, placing the school in the top half of all primaries in Three Rivers, where it ranks 14th out of 25. Nationally, it sits in the 26th percentile, which is solidly mid-table. The school’s maths average score of 107 and reading average of 105 are both above the national benchmark of 100, and the proportion of pupils hitting the higher standard in maths (30%) is notably stronger than in reading (23%) or writing (15%). This suggests a particular strength in numeracy, though the combined higher-standard figure of 6% is modest. For families weighing up options in the area, Oxhey Wood delivers results that are clearly ahead of the typical Hertfordshire primary, without being among the very highest flyers.
