About Kingsland CofE School

Kingsland CofE School, a Church of England primary in Herefordshire, stands out clearly against the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 63%, Kingsland achieves 74% — a solid eleven-point lead. This places the school 20th out of 78 primary schools in the county, comfortably within the top quarter of its peers. The school is oversubscribed, with 38 applications for 19 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and 18 of those 19 places went to first-preference applicants. With 151 pupils against a capacity of 140, it is running slightly over its official number, which suggests genuine local demand. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is just 4%, well below the national average, and the school is led by headteacher Stewart Debenham.
