About Ledbury Primary School

Ledbury Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, but the detail beneath that headline tells a more interesting story. The school was rated Outstanding in three of the five categories inspected: early years provision, personal development, and leadership and management. That means the early years foundation stage, the way children grow as individuals, and the senior team all scored the highest possible grade. The remaining two categories — quality of education, and behaviour and attitudes — were both rated Good. On the most telling exam metric for a primary school, the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, Ledbury sits at 58 per cent. That is five percentage points below the local authority average of 63 per cent for Herefordshire, and places the school 40th out of 68 similar schools in the county, putting it in the bottom half of the local league table.
