Check the area around this school
16th 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 — 9.0/10 against 3,954 of them, against 8.6/10 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.10 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Muxton Primary School
Overview
Muxton Primary School was inspected in June 2024 and judged as ‘Requires improvement’ overall, despite ‘Good’ ratings for the quality of education, personal development, and early years provision. The report highlights that while the curriculum is ambitious and pupils achieve well, inconsistent behaviour management and governance challenges hinder the school’s overall effectiveness.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “well designed,” with staff effectively identifying and remediing misconceptions so pupils can “confidently recall what they have learned.”
- Early reading is a high priority; staff implement phonics “consistently and effectively,” ensuring pupils who fall behind receive timely support.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well, with information shared effectively to help them “progress through the curriculum.”
- Personal development is strong, with pupils gaining a “detailed understanding of fundamental British values” and benefiting from inclusive clubs and trips.
Areas to improve
- Behaviour expectations are “not consistently high enough,” with low-level disruption and unkind behaviour not always dealt with effectively, negatively impacting learning.
- Communication between school and home is insufficient, as some parents feel their concerns are not listened to or responded to effectively.
- The governing body has not sufficiently undertaken its roles to support and challenge the school, requiring new governors to receive adequate training and support.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
