About Studlands Rise First School

Studlands Rise First School stands out in Hertfordshire for its strong parent satisfaction, but its headline academic metrics are harder to pin down because the school serves children from age 3 to 9, meaning it doesn’t publish Key Stage 2 SATs results in the same way a standard primary does. The local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 64, but Studlands Rise’s pupils move on to middle school before that benchmark, so direct comparison isn’t straightforward. What is clear from the data is that the school is heavily oversubscribed: for its 30 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 112 applications, a ratio of 3.73 applicants per place, and 28 of those 30 offers went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests local parents see real value here, even without the usual KS2 headline to point to.
