Schools in Ledbury

Reviewed by the catchment.school editorial team · Last updated 15 March 2026

Ledbury is a market town in Herefordshire on the edge of the Malvern Hills, with 7 schools in the catchment.school database. John Masefield High School is the local secondary academy with 930 places and 841 pupils enrolled (below capacity), covering a large rural area. Ledbury Primary School is the main town-centre primary (420 places, Ofsted Good), and Ashperton Primary Academy (Ofsted Good) serves a nearby village. Eastnor Parochial Primary holds an Outstanding Ofsted rating – a small rural Church of England school with 100 places and full enrolment.

Four of the six primary schools in the Ledbury cluster are Church of England: Eastnor Parochial, Bosbury CofE, Bromesberrow St Mary's CofE, and Much Marcle CofE Primary. This high proportion of faith schools reflects the rural parish structure of Herefordshire's villages. Bromesberrow St Mary's is a very small school (56 places, 58 pupils – oversubscribed). Herefordshire Council coordinates all admissions; secondary applications close at the end of October and primary allocations are announced in April.
