About Garway Primary School

Garway Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement. The school’s most recent graded inspection in 2016 awarded Good for both overall effectiveness and leadership and management, and an ungraded inspection in January 2025 confirmed that standards have been maintained. The early years provision was judged Outstanding. When it comes to academic outcomes at Key Stage 2, the data tells a mixed story. In the 2023/24 academic year, 50% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is below the Herefordshire local authority average of 63%. The school’s average scores in reading and maths were both 99, and the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in those subjects was 15% and 8% respectively. Nationally, Garway ranks in the bottom 50% of primary schools on this combined measure, and within Herefordshire it sits 51st out of 68 schools.
