About Yewtree Primary School

Yewtree Primary School in Dacorum was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, where just 34% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. This places the school well below the Hertfordshire local authority average of 64%, and ranks it 45th out of 47 primary schools in Dacorum.
