About Ponsbourne St Mary's Church of England Primary School

Ponsbourne St Mary's Church of England Primary School sits in the bottom half of Hertfordshire primary schools when it comes to the key stage 2 combined expected standard in reading, writing and maths, with just 50% of pupils reaching that benchmark. That is noticeably below the local authority average of 64%, placing the school 266th out of 401 primaries in the county. In the more local Welwyn Hatfield district, it ranks 29th out of 34 schools, putting it in the bottom 15% of its immediate neighbours. The picture is a mixed one, though: while the combined figure is low, individual subject scores tell a slightly different story. Reading and maths expected rates both sit at 60%, which is closer to the LA norm, and the average reading score of 105 is solid. The maths average of 99 is a touch below the national benchmark of 100, and the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined is just 10%, so the school clearly has work to do on stretching its most able pupils.
