Long Mountain CofE Primary School
Shrewsbury, SY5 9HT · Shropshire · primary school
66th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.6/10 against 4,067 of them, against 4.9/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 65.0 · 52 | 40% | 2.07 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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, 65.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in September 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Football Club and Netball Club. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 131 pupils in a capacity of 120, meaning it is over capacity by 11. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school plan to address the "Requires improvement" rating from the 2024 inspection? With the school operating over its stated capacity, what is the process for securing a place? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs support pupils during the school day?
