Check the area around this school
87th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,288 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.0/10 among them, against 0.5/10 nationally. 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 | 18.0 · 1 | 40% | 0.03 |
| 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 Brown Clee CofE Primary School
Overview
Brown Clee CofE Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by an atmosphere of togetherness and a strong sense of pastoral care. Pupils feel safe and valued, embodying school values such as respect, while parents are overwhelmingly positive about the school’s family feel.
Strengths
- The curriculum is carefully sequenced so that "what pupils learn today builds on what they have learned before," helping pupils make connections to prior knowledge.
- Teachers possess secure subject knowledge and explain new learning clearly, often modelling subject-specific vocabulary accurately, particularly in mathematics.
- Early reading is prioritised, with pupils using phonic skills accurately to decode words; the school promotes a love of reading through regular story times and events.
- A graduated system effectively identifies the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), involving parents at every step.
- Staff workload has become more manageable following policy reviews, and staff work well together to support one another.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must make effective checks on how well the curriculum is taught to identify inconsistencies and provide appropriate support, as subject leaders currently lack sufficient time for monitoring.
- The school should routinely use formative assessment to identify and address pupils’ misconceptions, which are currently sometimes left unchecked.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
