About Roger De Clare First CofE School
Roger De Clare First CofE School, a state primary for children aged 3 to 9 in East Hertfordshire, sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score is 64. The school’s own most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2024, awarded it a Good rating across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership, and early years provision — a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement in 2021. While the school’s exact KS2 results aren’t published in this data, its current Ofsted profile suggests it is performing at a level that aligns well with the LA average, particularly given the jump from a grade 3 to a grade 2 in all measured areas. With 235 pupils against a capacity of 300, the school is not at full roll, yet it was oversubscribed for 2025/26 entry: 55 applications for 38 places, with 37 first-preference offers made. That oversubscription ratio of 1. 45 indicates genuine local demand, and the school’s Church of England character likely adds to its appeal for families seeking a faith-based primary option.
