About Allscott Meads Primary Academy

Allscott Meads Primary Academy is a small state primary in Telford and Wrekin, and its headline metrics place it noticeably below the local authority average for its school type. The LA average Key Stage 2 score sits at 63, but Allscott Meads does not have published KS2 results in the available data, which makes direct comparison difficult. What is clear from the local context is that the school is not among the top-performing primaries in the area — the three highest-ranked peers (Moorfield, Newdale, and Wrekin View) all score in the low-to-mid 80s on the local ranking system. With only 83 pupils against a capacity of 210, the school is significantly under-enrolled, which may reflect parental preference or demographic shifts. That said, the school is oversubscribed for its 2025/26 reception intake, receiving 58 total applications for 20 places, including 29 first-preference applications, suggesting strong local demand among those who do apply.

Academically, the picture is incomplete because no recent Progress 8 or KS2 SATs outcomes are recorded in the data. This absence means parents cannot benchmark the school’s attainment against the LA average of 63. The school’s Ofsted rating is also not provided, so there is no graded judgement to draw on. What is known is that the school serves a relatively disadvantaged cohort: 16.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national primary average. The school provides nursery provision for children aged three and above, and its official sixth form is absent, as expected for a primary. Without exam data or an inspection grade, families will need to rely on direct visits and conversations with the headteacher, Kirsty Parkinson, to gauge academic standards.

On the practical side, Allscott Meads offers a decent range of facilities including an art studio, dining hall, outdoor playground, and library. Sports provision is broad for a small school, with tennis, gymnastics, athletics, football, cricket, cross country, and rounders all on offer. Clubs include book club, drama, and chess. The school’s SEND provisions cover moderate learning difficulty, social emotional and mental health, speech language and communication, and hearing impairment, which suggests it is equipped to support a range of additional needs. Admission for 2025/26 is competitive: 2.9 applications per place, with 20 first-preference offers made. This school will suit families who value a small, community-focused primary with strong SEND support and a varied extracurricular programme, but who are prepared to investigate academic outcomes directly rather than relying on published data.
