Check the area around this school
28th 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 3,383 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.9/10 among them, against 5.7/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 62% | 3.50 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 38% | 2.19 |
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 Stottesdon CofE Primary School
Overview
Stottesdon CofE Primary School is described as a “kind and caring” institution where pupils are happy and well-supported. The report highlights “exceptional” personal development, with pupils acting as “agents of change” and demonstrating impressive character. While the quality of education, behaviour, and leadership are judged as good, the school is noted for its strong community spirit and effective support for pupils with special educational needs.
Strengths
- Pupils display “impressive character” and actively contribute to their community, such as by tidying litter and supporting younger children.
- Early years provision is strong, with children forming “close relationships with key adults” and beginning to read from their first days.
- Attendance has improved significantly, with the school working effectively with parents to value daily attendance.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are “successfully included in all aspects of school life” and benefit from strong partnerships with parents and agencies.
- The curriculum offers “exciting opportunities” to develop talents, including trips to London that “bring learning to life.”
Areas to improve
- The school must support all pupils to write effectively, as some do not form letters or punctuate correctly, while others struggle to apply grammar and spelling knowledge accurately.
- Teaching needs to consistently address gaps and misconceptions in pupils’ knowledge, as some pupils continue to make persistent errors that affect their achievement.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
