Check the area around this school
76th of 97 primary schools in Shropshire we can score, 127 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.3/10 against 2,470 of them, against 1.6/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Broseley CofE Primary School
Overview
Broseley C of E Primary School continues to be a good school, offering a "warm and caring ethos" where pupils are happy and proud. Leaders maintain high expectations for all learners, including those with special educational needs, fostering confidence and respect within a strong community focus.
Strengths
- Leaders have created an "ambitious and well-sequenced curriculum" with clear links to early years, enabling pupils to confidently use subject-specific vocabulary.
- Reading is prioritised from the start, with well-trained staff addressing misconceptions quickly and providing additional support to help pupils catch up.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are identified quickly and receive appropriate, prompt support, allowing them to "learn alongside their peers".
- Behaviour is excellent, with pupils showing respect and politeness; low-level disruption is rare and dealt with promptly.
- The curriculum promotes culture and diversity, helping pupils understand different religions and accept people who are different to them.
Areas to improve
- Some foundation subject leaders do not effectively evaluate the impact of their curriculum, meaning they do not know what knowledge pupils are remembering.
- Some foundation subjects are not implemented frequently enough, risking pupils falling behind in key knowledge.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with robust recruitment checks and systems in place to identify pupils in need of early help quickly.
