    Rachel Ussher - Headteacher

    Welcome to Ledbury Primary School, where every child is valued, encouraged and inspired to do their best. We are a friendly and caring school at the heart of our community, with a strong commitment to helping pupils grow in confidence, curiosity and kindness.

    Our website offers a glimpse into school life, sharing the learning, opportunities and achievements that make our school special. We hope you will feel the warmth of our school community and discover what makes Ledbury a wonderful place to learn and belong.

    Our school is built on the foundation of Values-Based Education, which underpins everything we do. Through kindness, respect and resilience, we nurture an inclusive and welcoming environment where everyone is valued for who they are.

    Our unique curriculum—Belonging, Being and Becoming—reflects our commitment to the whole child. It’s designed to help our pupils feel a strong sense of belonging, develop their unique strengths, and grow into confident, compassionate individuals ready to embrace the world.

    As Ledbury’s town school, we cherish the strong connections we have with families, local organisations and the wider community. Together, we celebrate diversity, encourage creativity and support one another in shaping a bright future for our children.

    We look forward to welcoming you into our school family.

    A Welcome From Kev Adams - Chair of Governors

    A warm welcome to you, and your children, from the Governing Body of Ledbury Primary School.

    As school Governors, our most important role is monitoring the safety, welfare and education of all our children. To do this, we work as a team with the Headteacher and all school staff under our mission statement ‘Determined to Succeed.’ We aim to have all our children experience the very best possible enriched education and outcomes during their time here. As a Values-based school, we wish that all of our children become happy, vibrant and successful, and be able to face challenges with resilience.

    The Governing Body is involved with our school at every level. This includes safeguarding, finance, premises management and staff appointments. Governors are elected to ensure that objectives are defined and met, with future planning being appropriate and both visionary and realistic. Through our work, we shape and share the strategic vision and ethos of the school; monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the school; and hold the school to account for the standards achieved and the quality of education.

    At Ledbury Primary School, we are justifiably proud of the achievements of our children across the curriculum and of the excellent standards maintained in both their learning and behaviour. We believe that this reflects the high quality of our dedicated teaching and support staff.

    Every Governor at Ledbury Primary is committed to working in the best interests of the school and to improving outcomes for all children.
