The Vaynor First School

About The Vaynor First School

The Vaynor First School sits within Worcestershire's primary landscape as a state-funded, mixed-gender school for children aged 4 to 9, located in Redditch. Among the 180 primary schools in the local authority, only 13 hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, placing Vaynor in a competitive field. Its top-performing peers in the area include Inkberrow Primary School, Hanley Swan St Gabriel's with St Mary's CofE Primary School, and Malvern Wyche CofE Primary School, all of which rank highly on the local benchmarking score. Vaynor itself was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, with inspectors noting notable strengths in early years provision and behaviour and attitudes, both of which were judged Outstanding. The school is led by headteacher Helen Colcombe and operates close to its full capacity of 450 pupils, currently enrolling 437. It does not have a religious character, and it does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form, focusing entirely on its first-school age range.
