About Longtown Community Primary School

Longtown Community Primary School is a small state primary in Herefordshire, County of, where it sits 27th out of 68 similar schools in the local authority. That places it comfortably in the top half of the county’s primary league table, though it trails the top three local peers — St Mary’s Primary School in Dilwyn, Kimbolton St James CofE Primary School, and Eastnor Parochial Primary School — which all achieved higher ranking scores. With just 51 pupils on roll and a headteacher in Jane Barnes, the school operates on an intimate scale typical of rural Herefordshire. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2024, confirmed that the school remains Good, a rating it has held since at least its previous graded inspection in 2014. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, taking children from age four through to eleven, and also offers nursery provision for younger children.
