About Malvern Wyche CofE Primary School

Malvern Wyche CofE Primary School sits within the Worcestershire local authority, a small Church of England primary with 131 pupils that punches well above its weight in the local landscape. Among the 180 primary schools in the LA, it ranks fifth overall, placing it firmly in the top tier. Its closest peers in the rankings are Inkberrow Primary School and Hanley Swan St Gabriel's with St Mary's CofE Primary School, both scoring 88, with Beaconside Primary and Nursery School also on 86. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 33 applications for just 12 places, with all 12 first-preference offers accepted. That demand makes sense given its strong local reputation: 95% of parents who responded to the Parent View survey would recommend the school, and 98% said their child is happy there.
