Charlton School
Telford, TF1 3FA · Telford and Wrekin · secondary school
7th of 12 secondary schools in Telford and Wrekin we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 865 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.0/10 among them, against 2.5/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 9 | 35% | 0.32 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 34.5 · 27 | 30% | 0.80 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.41 · 20 | 25% | 0.50 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 42.7 · 33 | 10% | 0.33 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 34.5% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 42.7, against a national median of 44.6. Progress 8 for 2023/24 was -0.41, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.0 out of 10 among them, against 2.5 out of 10 nationally. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2026.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs like Creative Club, Book Club, and Dungeons and Dragons, alongside sports such as Rugby, Basketball, and Gymnastics. Arts provision includes Musical Theatre, Dance, and Instrumental Tuition. Trips visit PGL Centre, Paris, Berlin, and Cologne. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1236 pupils in a capacity of 1200, meaning it is over capacity by 36. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school 36 places over capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applicants? Since Progress 8 is below 0, what specific support is offered to pupils who are falling behind in maths? How does the after-school club integrate with the curriculum for students needing extra help?
