About Watford Field School (Infant & Nursery)

Watford Field School (Infant & Nursery) is a state primary for children aged 3 to 7, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good overall. That puts it in line with the majority of Hertfordshire’s 401 primary schools, though it is worth noting that 45 of those schools have achieved Outstanding. The school’s early years provision was rated Requires Improvement in that same inspection, a downgrade from the Good rating it received in 2011. Compared with the Hertfordshire local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment, which sits at 64, Watford Field does not publish KS2 results because its pupils leave at age 7, before those tests are taken. That makes direct headline comparisons tricky, but the school’s overall effectiveness rating of Good is consistent with the typical standard across the county.
