About Ashton-under-Hill First School
Ashton-under-Hill First School is a small state primary in the Wychavon area of Worcestershire, serving 99 pupils aged three to ten. Within the local authority’s 180 primary schools, it sits below the top tier of performers that includes Inkberrow Primary School and Hanley Swan St Gabriel's with St Mary's CofE Primary School, both of which hold a ranking score of 88, and Malvern Wyche CofE Primary School at 86. The school is not among Worcestershire’s 13 Outstanding-rated primaries, but its most recent graded inspection in 2011 awarded it a Good overall, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in March 2022 confirmed it “remains Good.” Leadership and management were judged Outstanding in that 2022 visit, and early years provision was rated Outstanding in the 2011 graded inspection. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year, with 37 applications for 14 places and 13 first-preference offers, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.64 — a clear sign of local demand.
