Lord Scudamore Primary Academy
About Lord Scudamore Primary Academy
Lord Scudamore Primary Academy sits in the middle of the pack when you line it up against other primary schools in Herefordshire. Its headline KS2 measure — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — stands at 52%, which is 11 percentage points below the local authority average of 63%. That gap places the school 47th out of 78 primaries in the county, putting it in the bottom half of the league table. Nationally, it ranks in the 75th percentile, meaning roughly a quarter of primary schools across England do worse on this metric. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects. Reading scores are a relative strength: 85% of pupils hit the expected standard, and 37% reached the higher standard. Maths is weaker, with 62% at the expected level and only 9% at the higher level. Writing sits in between, with 73% at the expected standard and 16% at the higher standard. So while the combined headline figure lags the LA average, the school is not struggling uniformly — reading results are notably strong.
