Llangrove CE Academy
About Llangrove CE Academy
Llangrove CE Academy is a small Church of England primary school in Herefordshire, currently teaching 75 pupils against a capacity of 84, so there is some room to grow. Its intake reflects a broadly typical mix for a rural state school: 13.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is below the national average but not unusually low for the area. Demand is clearly strong, though. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 12 applications for just 4 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 3 applicants per place. All 4 first-preference families were offered a spot, but the remaining 8 applicants came from lower preferences, suggesting that while the school is popular locally, it is not the top choice for every family in the catchment. The headteacher is Sarah Dean, and the school operates as a mixed-gender primary for children aged 4 to 11.
