Hello and a very warm Welcome to Bosbury CofE Primary School of Bosbury CE Primary School . We are nestled in a picturesque rural conservation area in Herefordshire in the shadow of the scenic Malvern Hills, just four miles from the popular market town of Ledbury and also a short distance from several surrounding villages.
Our pupils have the advantage of learning at the centre of a rural farming community, and we are also lucky enough to have our beautiful village church situated directly across the road.
While we are extremely fortunate to be situated in such a close-knit location, we still ensure that our pupils experience many opportunities in the wider community, such as themed visits to places of interest like museums and galleries, literary and poetry festivals, music and theatre performances, and of course, the ever-popular three-day residential trips!
We are a welcoming, all-inclusive school where every child matters , focusing on the specific needs of each and every one of our pupils.
