Against West Midlands and Telford and Wrekin
Track: West Midlands's middle 80% (10th to 90th percentile); L = West Midlands median; T = Telford and Wrekin median, shown when 10 or more of its schools have a figure; the dot is this school.
West Midlands state schools in Close Knit with a published figure, same phase (primary or secondary) and year; the borough median only when 10 or more of its schools have one. 10th, 50th and 90th percentiles with linear interpolation (PostgreSQL percentile_cont).
Colour only where lower or higher is clearly better (absence: lower): blue = better than the West Midlands median, red = in West Midlands's worst 10%.
Results
England rank: Key stage 2: % of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths; ties broken by % at the higher standard (published under URN 104939). Ranked among 15,057 primaries in England, 2024/25. England's state-funded mainstream schools with a published figure that year (suppressed or missing figures are left out); equal figures share a rank; top % = rank ÷ schools × 100, rounded up.
Top % in England by year: the first and best years are labelled; the dashed line is the middle (top 50%).
Against West Midlands: West Midlands state primaries, same year, cohort 30+, suppressed figures left out. Steps: the score out of 10 against West Midlands (10 = top 10%).
Arrows: change in West Midlands percentile points since 2018/19.
Pupils counted: 70 pupils (2024/25), every measure.

Getting in
Got in = first-choice families offered a place on national offer day ÷ families who put the school first. Putting a school first gives no priority: siblings and distance decide.
First-choice applications not offered a place on national offer day: 100 × (1 − first-preference offers ÷ first preferences). Applications count preferences, not children; places can still be offered from waiting lists after offer day.
Source: DfE, Primary and secondary school applications and offers.
Last distance offered: the straight line from the school to the furthest child offered a place under the distance rule. Not a catchment: it changes every year.
Inspections
GoodRequires improvementUngraded visit, no grade
Dates are the day each inspection started: Jan 2025 Ungraded visit · Mar 2019 Remains Good · Mar 2015 Good · Mar 2013 Requires improvement · Mar 2011 Satisfactory · Dec 2007 Satisfactory · Oct 2005 Satisfactory. Each dot opens its Ofsted report.
Inspection judgements graded Outstanding or Good, and Requires improvement or Inadequate, out of the judgements graded (the overall grade and aggregated judgements are not counted). Counted from Ofsted's grades, never scored from the report text.
Source: Ofsted, state-funded schools inspections and outcomes.
Pupils
Full = pupils on roll ÷ the school's capacity (490 places), from Get Information about Schools.
Pupil profile and absence: DfE school census and pupil absence (Compare school and college performance). Free school meals = eligible at any time in the past 6 years; persistently absent = missed 10% or more of sessions. Withheld = suppressed by DfE.
