About Us

This is an extremely exciting time to Join Croxley Danes School:

• We received our first Ofsted inspection in January 2022 and were judged to be ‘good’ in every category. 

• We received our first set of GCSE results in August 2022. The validated Progress 8 score for this comprehensive cohort was +0.44 and the students’ attainment surpassed both National and Hertfordshire averages - for example 82% of students attained grades 9-4 in English and Maths compared to 2019 figures of 65% nationally and 73% in Hertfordshire. Our unvalidated 2023 GCSE results appear to be just as strong, with the Progress 8 score estimated to be +0.39.

• We opened our Sixth Form in September 2022 with 95 students in the first cohort, studying 22 A-Level courses (including Music), one BTEC and one Level 3 course in Food Science and Nutrition. In September 2023 we have increased the number of students recruited to Year 12 to 115. Eventually we aim to have 300 students in the Sixth Form across Year 12 and 13.
