6th of 15 secondary schools in Herefordshire, County of we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 886 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.9/10 among them, against 3.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

What Ofsted said about Weobley High School
Overview
Weobley High School continues to be a good school, characterised by a culture where "happiness is central to daily life" and pupils feel they belong to an inclusive community. Leaders have created an environment where pupils are respected, safe, and confident in their ability to succeed, with a curriculum that is broadly well-planned and personalised for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy a "wide range of subjects" and benefit from teachers who share "strong subject knowledge clearly," leading to good progress.
- The school provides a "wide extra-curricular programme," including clubs and activities that appeal to diverse interests, such as rugby, drama, and philosophy workshops.
- Leaders take a "rigorous approach" to identifying and supporting pupils with SEND, ensuring they have full access to the curriculum and receive personalised help.
- Behaviour is excellent, with a "strong culture" where pupils help each other work hard and socialise calmly across year groups.
- Personal development is a strength, supported by a "cohesive programme" covering careers, work experience, and safety topics.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure the online system for recording safeguarding concerns is used consistently by all staff to make reviewing records easier.
- Leaders should ensure the curriculum is planned so that pupils gain equally strong subject-specific knowledge in all subjects, as some areas are not as secure as others.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture where staff spot changes in behaviour promptly and act in a timely way to ensure pupils receive necessary support.
