About St Teresa Catholic Primary School

St Teresa Catholic Primary School sits in the middle of the pack for Hertfordshire primary schools, with 60% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. That is four percentage points below the local authority average of 64%, placing the school 210th out of 401 primaries in the county. In the more local Hertsmere ranking, it comes 17th out of 29 schools, putting it in the bottom half of its immediate borough. The school’s overall score of 60 on the KS2 expected standard metric lands it in the bottom 50% nationally, though it is worth noting that the school is very close to capacity with 207 pupils on a 210-place roll, suggesting strong local demand. The most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025 rated the school Good overall, with leadership, management and early years provision all judged Good. This represents a clear improvement from the previous graded inspection in 2016, which had rated the school as Requires Improvement.
