About Tudor Primary School

Tudor Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 189 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.15. Of those applications, 78 were first-preference choices, and 55 first-preference offers were made. This level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the Dacorum area. While the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, the high number of families actively choosing it as their first option is a telling signal. The school is led by headteacher Rob Weightman and is a mixed, state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision available. It has no religious character and serves a community where 23.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is a useful indicator of the school's inclusive intake.

Academically, Tudor Primary School performs well above the local authority average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 75% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to the Hertfordshire average of 64%. This places the school 5th out of 47 primary schools in Dacorum, putting it in the top 25% nationally. In individual subjects, 86% reached the expected standard in reading, 83% in writing, and 78% in maths. At the higher standard, 14% of pupils achieved across all three subjects, with reading leading at 37% and maths at 31%. Average scaled scores were 107 in reading and 105 in maths. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 confirmed it remains Good, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all rated Good. Its previous graded inspection in 2017 also awarded Good across the board.

The school offers a broad range of facilities and activities that give a sense of its character. There is a Forest School, music rooms, art studios, a sensory room, a gymnasium, and even a chapel. Sports include swimming, football, gymnastics, dance, and athletics, while clubs range from Eco Club and Science Club to Chess, Coding, and Book Club. For families with children who have additional needs, Tudor lists SEND provisions covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, speech and language needs, autistic spectrum disorder, and social, emotional and mental health support. The school is oversubscribed, so families should be prepared to apply early and likely need to live within the catchment area. Given its strong academic results, high demand, and inclusive ethos, Tudor Primary School is a solid choice for families in Dacorum seeking a well-regarded local state primary.
