About Lea CofE Primary School

Lea CofE Primary School, a Church of England state primary in Herefordshire, was rated Good across all five categories in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a rating it has held consistently since its previous graded inspection in 2014. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined expected standard in reading, writing and maths, which stands at 40% of pupils. This places the school below the local authority average of 63% for the same measure, and ranks it 61st out of 68 primary schools in Herefordshire. In the West Midlands region, it sits in the bottom 50% of schools nationally by this metric. While the school’s reading and writing expected percentages are closer to the LA norm — 65% and 50% respectively — the maths expected figure is notably lower at 45%. The proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 10%.
