Schools in Hertfordshire
590 schools across 55 towns
Based on the most recent published single-word Ofsted grades. Ofsted stopped issuing overall grades (Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, Inadequate) in September 2024, so schools inspected more recently — under Ofsted’s report cards — may not have one. Figures cover the 226 of 590 schools here that have a published grade.
Hertfordshire has 590 schools across 55 towns — 399 primary, 78 secondary, educating around 222,526 pupils. 90% of schools with a published Ofsted grade are rated Good or Outstanding (203 of 226).
