About Leominster Primary School

Leominster Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2018 and confirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2023. The school’s most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which sits at 58%. That is five percentage points below the Herefordshire local authority average of 63%, placing the school 41st out of 68 primary schools in the county and in the bottom half nationally. The picture is mixed across individual subjects: 75% of pupils met the expected standard in writing, comfortably above the national benchmark, while reading and maths were at 65% and 62% respectively. At the higher standard, 27% achieved above the expected level in reading, 17% in writing and 15% in maths, with just 10% hitting the higher threshold across all three subjects.
