About Ralph Sadleir School

Ralph Sadleir School is a mixed state secondary for pupils aged 9 to 13 in East Hertfordshire, and it currently has a fair amount of spare capacity. With 275 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 360, the school is not oversubscribed, which may be a practical consideration for families seeking a place without the pressure of a competitive admissions process. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 rated it as Requires Improvement across all key areas, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This marks a clear change from its previous graded inspection in 2012, when it was rated Good. There is no parent view data available from the school's own surveys or from Ofsted's Parent View service in the provided information, so it is not possible to report a recommendation percentage from families currently at the school.
