About Apley Wood Primary Academy
Apley Wood Primary Academy holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant step up from its previous Requires improvement grade. The school was last inspected in 2018, when inspectors judged both overall effectiveness and leadership and management as Good. This improvement story is worth noting for parents, but the most telling academic metric comes from Key Stage 2 outcomes. The school’s average score in reading, writing and maths sits at 63, which is exactly in line with the Telford and Wrekin local authority average. That places Apley Wood among the solid, dependable primary options in the area, though it doesn’t quite reach the heights of the top-performing local schools like Moorfield Primary or Newdale Primary, both of which score 85 on the same measure.
