Dewhurst St Mary C of E Primary

Dewhurst St Mary C of E is a smaller than average-sized primary school in south east Hertfordshire on the outskirts of London. 75% of pupils are White British with other pupils coming from a range of ethnic backgrounds. The number of pupils who have special educational needs supported through school action is above average, although those at school action plus or with a statement of need is well below average. The school has experienced a significant increase in pupils eligible for pupil premium, with 41% currently receiving funding for additional support.

The Ofsted inspection in January 2011 judged the school to be satisfactory highlighting the need to improve: use of AfL, feedback marking, lesson pitch and challenge and monitoring procedures.
