About Somers Park Primary School

Somers Park Primary School in Malvern Hills holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a step down from the Outstanding it achieved in 2007. The inspection report shows a mixed picture: early years provision and personal development were both rated Outstanding, while quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management all settled at Good. The school’s most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 57%. That figure sits just below the local authority average of 61% for similar schools, and places Somers Park 67th out of 180 primary schools in Worcestershire. In the narrower Malvern Hills area, it ranks 23rd out of 34 schools, putting it in the bottom half locally.
