About St Paul's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, Chipperfield

St Paul's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School in Chipperfield hits the local authority average for KS2 expected standard in reading, writing and maths exactly, with 64% of pupils meeting that benchmark. That places it in the middle of the pack among Hertfordshire primary schools, but the detail beneath the headline tells a more nuanced story. Reading is the clear strength: 84% of pupils reached the expected standard and 32% hit the higher standard, compared with 76% and 28% in writing and 76% and 20% in maths. The average scaled scores of 109 in reading and 106 in maths sit comfortably above the national floor of 100.
