Longnor CofE Primary School
Shrewsbury, SY5 7PP · Shropshire · primary school
5th 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 882 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.6/10 among them, against 7.1/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
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, 69.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 15.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in January 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.6 out of 10 among them, against 7.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils attend a computing club and go on a Home Farm Trip. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 116 pupils in a capacity of 118 places, leaving 2 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help with reading and writing, given the gap between expected and higher standards? What are the specific entry requirements for the 2 remaining places? How does the school engage parents in the curriculum beyond the annual report?
