Check the area around this school
2nd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.3/10 against 4,194 of them, against 8.4/10 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 | 74.0 · 76 | 62% | 4.65 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 26.0 · 96 | 38% | 3.71 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
