Roman Way Academy

About Roman Way Academy

Roman Way Academy is a state primary school in North Hertfordshire that currently educates 234 pupils against a capacity of 277, meaning it has some room to grow but is already in strong demand. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 64 applications for just 38 places, with 28 of those coming as first preferences — an oversubscription ratio of 1.68. That level of competition suggests local families see it as a solid choice. The school serves a notably diverse intake in terms of disadvantage: 22.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is significantly above the national primary average of around 23% and puts it in a bracket where many schools face additional challenges. Headteacher Sital Shah leads a mixed-gender, non-religious school for children aged 3 to 9, with nursery provision on site. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2023, rated it Good across every category — a remarkable turnaround from its previous 2017 inspection, where it was judged Inadequate overall.
