Hadley Learning Community - Secondary Phase
Telford, TF1 5NU · Telford and Wrekin · secondary school
5th of 12 secondary schools in Telford and Wrekin we can score. 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 — 3.0/10 against 739 of them, against 2.6/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.80 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 28.0 · 13 | 30% | 0.40 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.21 · 34 | 25% | 0.86 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 44.4 · 42 | 10% | 0.43 |
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. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, last inspected in 2022. In 2024/25, 28.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 44.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.21 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than peers nationally who started from the same place. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (3.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join a Homework Club and a KS3 art club, and the school organises sports tours and trips. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 1248 pupils in a capacity of 1200, meaning it is over capacity by 48. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being 48 pupils over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who are not meeting expected progress in English and maths? How does the breakfast club integrate with the morning routine for younger secondary students?
