Ofsted has inspected these eight Watford area schools so far this year – with seven found to be 'good'.

With so many good results in the area, Watford can feel proud of its local pupils and teachers.

See the year's reports below:

Knutsford Primary Academy

Balmoral Road, Watford

The primary jumped up to a ‘good’ rating after an inspection in January.

Before becoming an academy in 2018, it had been found to require improvement in 2017.

Bushey Manor

Grange Road, Bushey

The most recent report on the list, Bushey Manor Junior School impressed, with its quality of pastoral care being found to be a particular strength.

Ofsted confirmed it had kept its ‘good’ rating when it published a report on May 19.

Ascot Road Primary School

Ascot Road, Watford

This school saw an ungraded inspection, in February, and kept its ‘good’ rating.

However, inspectors added that “the evidence gathered suggests that the inspection grade might not be as high if a graded inspection were carried out now”.

The next inspection will therefore be graded.

The Grove Academy

Fourth Avenue, Watford

The Grove Academy was inspected over two days in November, last year, before Ofsted labelled the curriculum “underdeveloped” in some subjects, in a report published in late February.

The school confirmed it had made a complaint to Ofsted over the grade.

Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School and Nursery

Merry Hill Road, Bushey

As the school kept its ‘good’ rating, after an inspection in March, Ofsted noticed pupils “enjoy coming to school” and “look forward to learning”.

Little Reddings Primary School

Harcourt Road, Bushey

“Little Reddings Primary School is a welcoming school with a ‘can-do’ attitude,” inspectors said earlier this month, as an ungraded report meant the school kept its ‘good’ rating.

Little Green Junior School

Lincoln Drive, Croxley Green

This school also kept its ‘good’ rating after a second ungraded inspection in a row since it was found 'good' in 2013.

Kingsway Infants' School

North Approach, Watford

After another ungraded inspection, this school continues to be good for the third inspection running, and Ofsted didn’t find evidence that had slipped.
