About St Michael's CofE Primary School

St Michael's CofE Primary School is a Church of England state primary in Herefordshire, County of, and it sits comfortably among the county's strongest performers. In the local authority's rankings for KS2 reading, writing and maths combined at the expected standard, the school places 10th out of 68 primary schools, putting it in the top 15% of its peers. The top three schools in the same LA are St Mary's Primary School, Dilwyn, Kimbolton St James CofE Primary School, and Eastnor Parochial Primary School, so St Michael's is in good company. With 118 pupils and a capacity of 121, it is a small, close-knit setting where the headteacher, Michele Lewis, leads a mixed-gender intake from age 2 through to 11. The school also offers nursery provision, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 confirmed it remains Good, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded and ungraded inspections.
