About Castlemorton Church of England Primary School

Castlemorton Church of England Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2017. The school’s most telling academic metric comes from Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 year, where 57% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits just below the Worcestershire local authority average of 61%, though the school’s reading scores are a clear strength: pupils achieved an average scaled score of 110, with 57% reaching the higher standard. In maths, the average scaled score was 107, and 36% of pupils hit the higher threshold. Writing proved more challenging, with 57% reaching the expected standard and none achieving the higher mark. The school’s ranking places it 24th out of 34 primary schools in the Malvern Hills district, and in the bottom 50% nationally.
