Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Secondary Roman Catholic/Church of England
5.0/10 Broadly average

3rd 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 919 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.2/10 among them, against 4.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 48.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 45.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.22 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than peers nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.2 out of 10 among them, against 4.9 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 932 pupils in a capacity of 900, meaning it is over capacity by 32. 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 over capacity with 32 extra pupils? What support is available for pupils whose Progress 8 score is below the national benchmark? How does the school maintain its Good Ofsted rating while managing a student body larger than its designated places?
