About Lugwardine Primary Academy

Lugwardine Primary Academy is a state primary school in Herefordshire, County of, and it sits comfortably within the top half of the local authority's 78 primary schools, ranking 25th overall. Its closest high-performing peers in the area include St Mary's Primary School, Dilwyn, Kimbolton St James CofE Primary School, and Eastnor Parochial Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. The school is led by headteacher Kim Lane and has a current roll of 154 pupils against a capacity of 210, meaning there is some room for growth. It is a mixed, non-religious school for children aged 5 to 11, and it does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in March 2025, the school retained its Good rating overall, with leadership and management, early years provision, and the quality of education all judged to be Good. The ungraded inspection noted that some aspects were not as strong, but the overall effectiveness label remained unchanged from the previous graded inspection in 2014.
