About Round Diamond Primary School

Round Diamond Primary School sits comfortably above the Hertfordshire local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 74% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a county average of 64%. That ten-point gap is a meaningful one, and it places the school in the top quarter nationally for this metric. The school is also ranked 8th out of 38 primary schools in North Hertfordshire, putting it in the top 25% within its immediate area. These figures are backed by strong individual subject scores: 84% of pupils met the expected standard in both reading and maths, with average scaled scores of 107 in each. In writing, 89% hit the expected level, and 23% reached the higher standard. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in March 2025, confirmed that standards are being maintained at Outstanding, a rating it first achieved in a graded inspection back in 2017. Leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness were all judged Outstanding.
