The Telford Park School
Telford, TF3 1FA · Telford and Wrekin · secondary school
12th of 12 secondary schools in Telford and Wrekin we can score. 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 — 0.2/10 against 359 of them, against 0.1/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 16.0 · 2 | 45% | 0.07 |
| Ofsted | 1 | 40% | 0.03 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 28.4 · 0 | 15% | 0.01 |
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, 16.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. The Attainment 8 score was 28.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.1 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Inadequate in May 2022.
Getting in. The school has 680 pupils in a capacity of 1056 places, leaving 376 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How has the school addressed the specific areas highlighted in the 2022 Ofsted report? What support structures are in place to help students reach the national median for Attainment 8? How does the school utilise its current spare capacity to enhance the learning environment?
