About Peartree Spring Primary School

Peartree Spring Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit noticeably below the Hertfordshire local authority average for primary schools. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 64%, but at Peartree Spring only 57% of pupils achieved that benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That seven-point gap places the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, at the 64th percentile, and 225th out of 401 similar schools across Hertfordshire. Within Stevenage specifically, it ranks 9th out of 19 primaries. The school’s overall Ofsted rating of Good, confirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2023, is a step down from its previous Outstanding rating in 2009. While the leadership and management and early years provision both remain rated Outstanding, the overall effectiveness has settled at Good, which aligns with the fact that only 45 of Hertfordshire’s 401 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding grade.
