St Teresa Catholic Primary School

School overview

St Teresa Catholic Primary School is a primary school serving Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Catholic religious character. It has 207 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 63% 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 3.0 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 around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Competition for places is real here - 65% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (46 first choices for 30 places). Overall pupil absence was 4.8%. There are about 22.5 pupils per teacher. St Teresa Catholic 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.
