Check the area around this school
15th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 2,280 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.2/10 among them, against 7.8/10 nationally. 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 76.0 · 80 | 40% | 3.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 25% | 1.85 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Kingsland CofE School
Overview
The report describes a school with a ‘deeply Christian vision’ where pupils ‘flourish socially and emotionally’ and achieve well in core subjects. While behaviour and personal development are judged ‘Outstanding’, the overall effectiveness is rated ‘Good’, with specific concerns regarding curriculum precision in foundation subjects.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate ‘excellent’ conduct and attitudes, treating others with respect and understanding the importance of equality.
- Achievement in reading, writing, and mathematics is high, supported by ‘keep-up’ sessions and effective phonics teaching.
- Teachers provide ‘exceptional support’ for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, ensuring full inclusion.
- The school offers a ‘rich and diverse education’ through clubs, cultural visits, and prestigious awards in music and sport.
- Staff are well-trained and committed, with many pursuing additional professional qualifications.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must identify ‘key knowledge, skills and subject vocabulary’ in foundation subjects and early years to ensure learning builds progressively.
- Senior leaders should ensure subject leaders have the opportunity and skills to check the quality of curriculum delivery in foundation subjects, as these checks are currently less effective than in English and mathematics.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are ‘effective’, with leaders maintaining ‘meticulous records’ of concerns and ensuring staff are properly trained to keep pupils safe.
