St Cuthbert Mayne Voluntary Catholic Junior Academy
About St Cuthbert Mayne Voluntary Catholic Junior Academy
St Cuthbert Mayne Voluntary Catholic Junior Academy is a school that parents in Dacorum clearly trust. While the school does not publish a parent-view recommend percentage, its oversubscription ratio tells a compelling story: with 239 pupils on roll against a capacity of 240, the school is effectively full. That near-maximum occupancy suggests strong local demand and a reputation that keeps families applying. As a Roman Catholic junior school for ages 7 to 11, it serves a specific niche within Hertfordshire’s primary landscape, and its size means children are known individually. The headteacher, Michelle Anderton, leads a school that has held a Good rating from Ofsted across both its most recent graded inspection in 2014 and its ungraded inspection in 2018, where inspectors confirmed the school remains Good. For parents weighing up options, a full school with a consistent Good rating and a clear religious character often signals a settled, well-regarded local choice.
