Mordiford CofE Primary School
About Mordiford CofE Primary School
Mordiford CofE Primary School is a Church of England state primary in Herefordshire that parents clearly have on their radar. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 43 applications for just 21 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.05, meaning more than two families applied for every available spot. All 21 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while the school is popular, it is not impossible to get into if you live nearby and list it first. The school has 166 pupils on roll against a capacity of 180, so there is a small amount of headroom, but the oversubscription pattern indicates that demand comfortably outstrips supply. Ofsted last inspected the school in December 2023 and rated it Good across all five categories, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership. This is a step down from its previous Outstanding rating in 2010, but the current judgement is still a solid one and reflects a well-run school.
