Hinstock Primary School
Market Drayton, TF9 2TE · Shropshire · primary school
83rd 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 4,344 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.3/10 among them, against 0.9/10 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 | 40.0 · 8 | 40% | 0.33 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 40.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.3 out of 10 among them, against 0.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the School Council and attend Forest School trips. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 126 pupils in a building with 119 places, meaning it is over capacity by 7. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With results significantly below the national median, how does the school support pupils who are not reaching expected standards? Since the school is over capacity, what is the current waitlist status for new admissions? How does the after-school club structure its activities for children staying late?
