10th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.9/10 against 2,785 of them, against 7.0/10 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 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 19.0 · 90 | 25% | 2.26 |
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 Wrekin View Primary School
Overview
Wrekin View Primary School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” Pupils “enjoy attending” the school, where they “behave well and feel safe.” The report highlights a strong curriculum and effective teaching, though it notes specific areas for improvement regarding pupil participation in wider activities and parental communication.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “ambitious” and “carefully sequenced,” allowing pupils to “learn and remember more of the curriculum over time.”
- “Early reading is exceptionally well taught,” with highly skilled staff ensuring pupils read with accuracy and fluency.
- Children in the early years “get off to a great start,” benefiting from warm relationships and well-taught early number and language skills.
- The school is “inclusive,” with positive relationships and tailored support ensuring pupils with SEND and disadvantaged pupils “achieve well in school.”
- Leadership provides “rigorous and effective” oversight, and teachers are positive about support for their workload and well-being.
Areas to improve
- The school should monitor and encourage participation in wider activities so that disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND do not miss out on opportunities to develop new talents.
