Cradley CofE Primary School
Malvern, WR13 5NG · Herefordshire, County of · primary school
61st of 72 primary schools in Herefordshire, County of we can score, 78 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.5/10 against 3,215 of them, against 4.5/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out

|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 47.0 · 15 | 40% | 0.60 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 25% | 2.30 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 47.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 20.0% reached the higher standard. The school was rated Requires improvement by Ofsted in May 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.5 out of 10 either way).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join gardening, Little Fishes, dance, choir, yoga, sewing, and computing clubs. Sports include basketball, netball, football, cross country, multi-sports, TAG rugby, long distance running, and golf. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 73 pupils in a building with 140 places, leaving 67 spare spots. This means there is real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than the school is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to move from the 47.0% expected standard to the 20.0% higher standard? What specific actions are being taken to address the 2024 inspection findings? How do the smaller class sizes resulting from the 67 spare places affect individual teaching time?
