What the figures show

The last Reception 2026 place offered to children for whom it was their nearest school went to a child living 0.18 miles away.
That 2026 distance was nearer the school than in 2025 and 2015, and the figure has swung sharply between some years.
Reception 2026 drew 10 first-choice applications for 11 offers; every first-choice family was offered a place, and 1 offer went to a family who ranked it second or lower.
33% met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths in 2024/25 (England 62%), lowest of 9 schools: this one and the 8 nearest primary schools in Hertfordshire.

Worked out by Catchmently from the published figures on this page and those for other Hertfordshire schools. Distances are as published; how they were measured differs between admission authorities.
