About Ashperton Primary Academy

Ashperton Primary Academy holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2023, but the detail beneath that headline tells a stronger story. The school was previously rated Outstanding in 2009, and while the overall grade has shifted, inspectors judged personal development and behaviour and attitudes as Outstanding in the latest visit. On the academic front, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 87 per cent. That figure places Ashperton sixth out of 68 primary schools in Herefordshire, comfortably in the top 10 per cent of the local authority. It also sits in the top five per cent nationally, according to the school's ranking data. For a relatively small primary with 209 pupils on roll, these outcomes suggest consistent, strong classroom practice across the board.
