Which are the top-rated schools in Hitchin?

Under our composite score, Highover Junior Mixed and Infant School is the highest-ranked primary school and Hitchin Girls' School is the highest-ranked secondary school in Hitchin. The score blends Ofsted inspection, attainment, progress and engagement into one A to F grade, weighted by data completeness. Independent and special schools are listed by Ofsted rating rather than scored.

Why are primary and secondary schools ranked separately?

Because they are measured on different things: primary schools on Key Stage 2 SATs, secondary schools on GCSE results and Progress 8. A grade A primary and a grade A secondary are not the same measurement, so we never rank them against each other. Each phase has its own full ranking for Hitchin, linked from its section above.
