Check the area around this school
9th 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 — 8.4/10 against 4,169 of them, against 8.5/10 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 | 81.0 · 89 | 40% | 3.57 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing
In 2024/25, 81.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 13.0% reached the higher standard, against a national median of 7%. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2025. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom
Pupils join Friday Football, Autumn Term Craft, Tech Tigers STEM, and Young Voices clubs. They participate in swimming, cross country, hill walking, climbing, gorge walking, and canoeing. Arts include theatre visits and Bridgnorth Sinfonia. Trips cover Chester, Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre, Wild Zoo, Arthog climbing wall, the local Church, Pioneer Centre, and a residential visit to Arthog. An after-school club is available.
Getting in
The published school roll is 102 pupils against a stated capacity of 119. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.
Worth asking on a visit
How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? What specific activities are included in the residential visit to Arthog? How is the after-school club structured for wraparound care?
