About St Mary's CofE Primary School

St Mary's CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Herefordshire, County of, with 92 pupils on roll against a capacity of 120. In the local authority's ranking of 78 primary schools, it sits at 64th place, placing it in the bottom half of its peers. The top-performing schools in the area are St Mary's Primary School, Dilwyn, Kimbolton St James CofE Primary School, and Eastnor Parochial Primary School, all of which score significantly higher on the same ranking metric. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2022, confirmed it remains Good, a rating it has held since at least its previous graded inspection in 2013. Leadership and management were also judged Good, and the school's early years provision was rated Good back in 2009. For families considering a village-style primary with a religious character, St Mary's offers a small, close-knit setting, though its local standing is modest compared with the strongest performers in the county.
