About St Weonard's Academy

St Weonard's Academy is a tiny primary school in Herefordshire with just 45 pupils, and its headline metrics stand out sharply against the local authority average. The school holds an Ofsted Outstanding rating, which it earned in its most recent graded inspection in 2017 and confirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2024. That puts it among only 10 outstanding primaries out of 78 in the county, a notable distinction. However, the school's Key Stage 2 SATs results are not available in the data, so it is impossible to compare its academic performance directly against the LA average of 63. What is clear is that the school's leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness have all been judged Outstanding, with the early years provision specifically graded as Outstanding in the 2024 inspection. The school has improved from its previous Good rating in 2013, and the most recent ungraded inspection noted that the school remains Outstanding, albeit with a 'Concerns' qualifier attached to the outcome.
