Check the area around this school
53rd 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 4,023 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.6/10 among them, against 3.4/10 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

| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Llangrove CE Academy
Overview
Llangrove CE Academy is described as a welcoming community where pupils “feel safe, enjoy life at school and thrive.” Leaders have established an “ambitious and effective curriculum” that prepares students well for secondary education, supported by staff who “care for pupils” and maintain strong links with families. The inspection highlights a positive school culture where children are “considerate and polite,” with bullying being “uncommon.”
Strengths
- The curriculum is “ambitious and effective,” ensuring pupils are “well prepared for secondary school” through structured learning in mixed-age classes.
- Reading instruction is robust, with a “structured phonics reading programme” and a diverse range of texts that help pupils “develop a love of reading.”
- Teachers demonstrate expertise, using “accurate vocabulary” and effective questioning to deepen understanding, while successfully integrating subjects such as history and geography.
- Personal development is strong, with pupils taking on responsibilities like acting as councillors and participating in a wide range of after-school clubs.
- Physical activity is promoted “particularly well,” evidenced by the school holding the Schools Games Mark at gold level.
Areas to improve
- Governors should provide “effective oversight of all aspects of the school, including the effectiveness of the curriculum,” as they currently focus less on this than other duties.
- Leaders must ensure they “monitor how well the curriculum is implemented” to address inconsistencies in teaching and assessment that arose due to pandemic disruptions.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective,” noting that staff are well-trained, alert to risks, and that pupils feel confident to talk to adults if worried.
