Weobley Primary School

About Weobley Primary School

Weobley Primary School sits comfortably above the local authority average for its key stage 2 headline metric, with 66% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to the Herefordshire average of 63%. That three-percentage-point gap places the school 29th out of 68 primary schools in the county, putting it in the top half of local primaries. The school’s ranking score of 66 also lands it in the national top 50 tier, though it is worth noting that the top three schools in the LA all score above 90, so Weobley is solidly mid-pack rather than at the very top. The school is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, 29 families applied for 13 places, with all 13 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That 2.23 oversubscription ratio suggests strong local demand, and the school’s Good Ofsted rating, confirmed in its most recent ungraded inspection in 2023, reinforces its reputation as a reliable choice for families in the area.

Digging deeper into the 2023/24 key stage 2 results, the picture is one of consistent, if not spectacular, performance. In reading, 72% of pupils hit the expected standard and 28% reached the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 105. Maths saw 69% at expected and 24% at higher, with an average score of 104. Writing was slightly lower, with 69% at expected and 17% at higher. The proportion reaching the higher standard across all three subjects was 10%, which is a respectable figure but not exceptional. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points. The school’s Ofsted history shows it has held a Good rating since at least 2010, with the 2023 ungraded inspection confirming it remains Good. The previous graded inspection in 2013 gave Good marks for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision.

Weobley Primary is a state-funded, mixed primary school for children aged 2 to 11, with nursery provision on site. It currently has 207 pupils against a capacity of 250, so there is some headroom. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 24.1%, slightly above the national average, which suggests a reasonably diverse intake. Facilities include playing fields, a sports hall, a sensory room, art studios, an ICT suite, a gymnasium and a chapel. Sports offered include swimming, tennis, cricket, football, cross country and athletics, while clubs cover science, coding, gardening and chess. The school lists SEND provisions for specific learning difficulties, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, and other difficulties. This combination of strong local results, a Good Ofsted rating, and a broad range of facilities and support makes Weobley a solid, well-regarded option for families in the Herefordshire area, particularly those looking for a primary that balances academic expectations with a wide extracurricular offer.
