Northleigh Primary is a Church of England school located on the northern outskirts of Malvern in Worcestershire.  We have a PAN of 45 per year group with approximately 300 pupils currently on role, organised in 11 mixed-ability classes.
We are a friendly, caring school with a positive, inclusive ethos.  By learning together our children can live together in a spirit of harmony, tolerance and respect.
We were placed into Serious Weakness in our most recent Ofsted inspection (November 2017) and have worked closely alongside the relevant bodies to address the recommendations made in the report. The progress we have made was noted at the interim inspection in October 2018.
