About Eardisley CofE Primary School

Parents considering Eardisley CofE Primary School will find a small, popular village school that is clearly in demand. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 19 applications for just 9 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.11, meaning more than two families applied for every spot. Of those, all 8 first-preference applicants were offered a place, suggesting that while the school is oversubscribed, local families who put it first stand a strong chance. The school itself is compact, with 106 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, so it is essentially full. As a Church of England primary in Herefordshire, it serves a mixed cohort, with 13.2% of pupils eligible for free school meals, which is slightly below the national average. The headteacher, Laura Williams, leads a school that has held a Good rating from Ofsted across both its most recent graded inspections, most recently confirmed as remaining Good following an ungraded visit in February 2024.
