Check the area around this school
15th 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 the 4,212 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.0/10 among them, against 6.0/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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 Lawley Village Academy
Overview
Lawley Village Academy is described as a "calm, safe and welcoming place" where leaders and staff are "kind, fair and set high expectations." The inspection confirms that the school continues to be a good school, with pupils learning well in an environment that promotes responsibility and maturity.
Strengths
- Reading is taught successfully through a "structured daily phonics programme" that is "fully resourced" and followed with fidelity.
- The curriculum is broad and enriched by "educational trips and residential visits," helping pupils gain knowledge across subjects.
- Pupils have a strong voice in school life through committees, such as the "pupil safe committee," which drives "constructive change."
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities is "effective," with staff adapting teaching so all can access the full curriculum.
- Staff benefit from "supportive teamwork" and leaders who consider their well-being and workload.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should review the implementation of the mathematics curriculum, as some explanations and resources are "not carefully matched to what pupils need to learn."
- Assessment in some foundation subjects needs refinement to be more "efficient and focused on the most useful knowledge."
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with "efficient whole-school systems for spotting and responding to concerns" and correct checks on staff.
