About Madresfield CofE Primary School

Madresfield CofE Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 32 applications for just 12 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.67, meaning nearly three families applied for every spot. All 12 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for those who put it top of their list, the school is a realistic option. The school is a Church of England primary in Malvern Hills, with a small roll of 94 pupils against a capacity of 105. Headteacher Rebecca Hibell leads a school that was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2022, with inspectors awarding Good across every category, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. That consistency is a solid signal for parents looking for a stable, well-regarded local school.
