Much Wenlock Primary School

Much Wenlock, TF13 6JG · Shropshire · primary school

Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary
4.6/10 Broadly average

44th 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 — 6.0/10 against 4,352 of them, against 6.4/10 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 66.0 · 54 40% 2.16

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, 66.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 14.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2026. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (6.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.4 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join swimming and inter-school competitions, attend dance festivals and live arts showcases, and go on residential visits. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.

Getting in. The school has 179 pupils in a capacity of 168, meaning it is over capacity by 11. Places are competitive because the school exceeds its stated capacity.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the 11 places over capacity in daily operations? What specific support is available for the 14.0% of pupils who reached the higher standard? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main curriculum?
