About Whitchurch CofE Primary School

Whitchurch CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Herefordshire, and the feedback from its parent community is largely positive. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 79% of the 42 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That’s a solid vote of confidence, though it leaves roughly one in five who would not. The school is clearly popular in the local area: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 30 applications for just 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2:1. All 15 first-preference applicants were offered a place, so while it’s competitive, being first-choice clearly helps. On specific questions, parents were particularly positive about happiness and safety, with 95% agreeing or strongly agreeing that their child is happy and 93% saying the same about safety. The school also scored well on communication, with 98% of parents feeling the school makes them aware of what their child will learn.
