Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2025 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it. In 2026 the school was not oversubscribed, so no distance limit applied.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

Location

The Reddings Primary School at a glance

Located in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, The Reddings Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a community school. The school educates roughly 215 pupils aged 3 to 11. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 57% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 2.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 103 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). The Reddings Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 14 families who put it first were offered a place. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2025 lived 1.18 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 5.7%. There are about 19.8 pupils per teacher. The Reddings Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
