About Oakleaf Primary

Oakleaf Primary is a primary school in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. Around 225 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. 24% 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%). 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 100 in reading and 97 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 3% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Oakleaf Primary their first choice was offered one of its 12 Reception places. There are about 16.6 pupils per teacher. Oakleaf Primary 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.
