From the Lord Scudamore Primary Academy
Lord Scudamore Academy is a large three form entry primary academy serving the centre of Hereford. We are fortunate to have our own Nursery with 52 pre-school places per year. Being a large school means we are able to offer a richer provision for our children, using expertise and resources from more people than just our school staff, through after school clubs and holiday clubs for example.
This is a fantastic school with talented staff, supportive governors and amazing children.
