About Luston Primary School

Luston Primary School, a state primary in Herefordshire, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The school’s most recent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good, with the leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all judged Good. However, the academic outcomes story is more nuanced. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, just 45% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well below the local authority average of 63% for similar schools. The school’s ranking within Herefordshire reflects this: it places 55th out of 68 primary schools, putting it in the bottom 50% nationally. For parents focused on academic attainment at the expected level, these numbers are a clear signal that the school is not performing as strongly as many of its neighbours.
