About Adderley CofE Primary School

Adderley CofE Primary School received the highest possible grade in its most recent Ofsted inspection, achieving an overall rating of Outstanding in June 2024. This marks a significant improvement from its previous Good rating in 2014, and the school now stands as one of only seven primary schools in Shropshire to hold this top tier judgement out of 127 in the local authority. Every single category assessed by inspectors was rated Outstanding, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. For a small village school with just 46 pupils on roll, this is a remarkable achievement and suggests a highly effective learning environment from the earliest years through to the end of Key Stage 2.
