Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
6.5/10 Above average

19th 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 4,078 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.5/10 among them, against 7.2/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Getting in. The school has 175 pupils in a building with 210 places, leaving 35 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
