Check the area around this school
25th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.5/10 against 2,770 of 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.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Ladygrove Primary School
Overview
Ladygrove Primary School is described as a "warm and welcoming school where pupils thrive," having taken "effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection." The report highlights a "palpable community ethos" where pupils demonstrate kindness, respect, and excellent behaviour, supported by strong pastoral care.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "well designed and sequenced," with practical experiences woven in to bring learning to life, particularly in core subjects like reading and mathematics.
- Pupils achieve well from their starting points and are "well prepared for their next stage of education," showing pride in their accomplishments such as earning a 'pen license'.
- Staff provide "excellent" pastoral support, quickly helping pupils who feel worried or upset to get back on track.
- The school offers a "rich personal development programme" and inclusive support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), who "progress well."
- Staff morale is high, with leaders considering workload and well-being, and governors providing effective support and challenge.
Areas to improve
- In a few foundation subjects, the curriculum is not fully embedded; teachers do not routinely link prior learning to new learning or address small gaps in knowledge.
- The school should ensure teachers have the guidance needed to "find and close any gaps in pupils’ knowledge" so pupils can deepen their understanding in these subjects.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
