Check the area around this school
38th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.5/10 against 2,721 of them, against 5.7/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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 Weobley Primary School
Overview
Weobley Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a ‘safe, happy learning environment where everyone is valued’. Pupils enjoy learning, feel secure, and benefit from high expectations and a well-designed curriculum that enables them to achieve well.
Strengths
- Pupils are ‘very enthusiastic about reading’ and develop literacy and numeracy skills securely.
- Leaders place a ‘strong emphasis on pupils’ wider development’, including health, equality, and diversity.
- Teachers have ‘secure subject knowledge’ and most regularly check understanding to prevent gaps in learning.
- Staff use ‘pupil passports’ effectively to adapt teaching for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
- ‘Excellent relationships between pupils and staff create a calm environment’ with respectful behaviour.
Areas to improve
- Some teachers do not check regularly enough if pupils understand tasks, leading to gaps in knowledge; leaders should ensure all teachers address this.
- Some pupils miss too much school, which holds back their achievement; leaders should work to secure more regular attendance.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders ensuring all staff receive regular training and concerns are dealt with swiftly.
