Wigmore Academy Trust

Wigmore Academy Trust is a special place. Tucked into a beautiful corner of the Herefordshire countryside, our Nursery, Primary and High schools are renowned in the county for providing an exceptional quality of education for children in a warm, friendly and well-disciplined environment. The schools have existed for over 50 years, federating in 2008; academising in 2011 under the umbrella of one Academy Trust; and establishing a Nursery in 2012. They are routinely recognised locally and nationally as exceptional centres of education. For example, in 2019 Wigmore Primary School received a letter of commendation from Schools’ Minister, Nick Gibb, for the excellent standard of progress of our Key Stage 2 students (putting them in the top 3% nationally). Meanwhile, the High School regularly features around the top of attainment tables for Herefordshire. As well as providing a high-quality, broad and balanced education, Wigmore devotes time to developing the whole child. Children enjoy trips to exciting destinations such as Iceland, France and Spain. Many take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award, others enjoy skiing in Andorra. They travel to museums, art galleries and theatres across the nation and take part in a range of sporting events with schools from within and outside the county. These are the memories that stay with us all as we grow up and we want to make sure that Wigmore pupils have an abundance of them to cherish. Many students travel from outside of our catchment area, drawn by our all through 3 to 16 curriculum where staff work together in all phases of education to ensure that children’s work in our Primary School is built on and developed as they move up to the High School.
