St Philip Howard Catholic Primary School

School overview

St Philip Howard Catholic Primary School is a primary school serving Hatfield, Hertfordshire, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Roman Catholic religious character. It has 462 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. 42% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 19.0 percentage points compared with 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 106 in reading and 103 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 2% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). St Philip Howard 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. 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 further down the page.
