Check the area around this 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 322 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 2025/26 | 15.9 · 2 | 45% | 0.07 |
| Ofsted | 1 | 40% | 0.03 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 29.0 · 1 | 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.
The Telford Park School overview
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.
