Check the area around this school
3rd of 40 primary schools in Telford and Wrekin we can score, 56 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 — 9.8/10 against 3,194 of them, against 9.8/10 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 | 94.0 · 99 | 40% | 3.96 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 28.0 · 97 | 25% | 2.43 |
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

Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024. 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 (9.8 out of 10 either way).

What Ofsted said about Crudgington Primary School
Overview
Crudgington Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils demonstrate ‘pride, passion and purpose’ in their work. The curriculum is well thought out, with staff effectively nurturing a love of reading and prioritising phonics instruction. However, the report identifies specific areas regarding assessment accuracy and support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) that require attention to ensure consistent learning progress.
Strengths
- The curriculum is ‘well thought out’, with learning broken into small steps and key knowledge clearly identified.
- Staff ‘nurture a love of reading’, ensuring pupils engage with demanding texts, including works by Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe.
- Phonics teaching is prioritised, with staff well trained and quick to support pupils who need extra help.
- Pupils’ wider development is a strength, with effective understanding of fundamental British values and spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
- Attendance has improved, with families receiving quick support when needed.
Areas to improve
- Assessments in a small number of subjects do not always check the most important content, leading to missed gaps in learning that slow progress.
- Teachers do not always make necessary changes in lessons for pupils with SEND, meaning some do not achieve as well as they could.
- Leaders have not always acted quickly enough to address issues identified through curriculum checks.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with pupils knowing who is responsible for keeping them safe and an open culture that puts pupils’ interests first.
