About Bosbury CofE Primary School

Bosbury CofE Primary School is a Church of England state primary in Herefordshire, County of, and sits 28th out of 68 primary schools in the local authority, placing it in the top half of its peers. The top three schools in the LA by ranking score are St Mary's Primary School, Dilwyn, Kimbolton St James CofE Primary School, and Eastnor Parochial Primary School, all of which Bosbury trails by some distance. However, the school has its own strengths. It was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, with personal development judged Outstanding — the highest possible grade. That's a notable achievement given that only 10 of the 78 primaries in Herefordshire hold an Outstanding overall rating. The school is small, with 118 pupils against a capacity of 150, and has a Church of England religious character. It is also noticeably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 40 applications for 17 places, with all 17 first-preference applicants offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.35.
