About Belvidere Primary School

Belvidere Primary School in Shropshire has turned a corner academically, with its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2025 awarding a Good rating across all five graded categories — a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement in 2022. The school’s strongest exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 76 per cent. That figure puts Belvidere well above the Shropshire local authority average of 59 per cent and ranks it 12th out of 88 primary schools in the area, placing it in the top 25 per cent nationally. The school also scores strongly in individual subjects: 94 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in maths, with an average scaled score of 105, while reading and writing expected rates were 82 per cent and 85 per cent respectively. At the higher standard, 24 per cent of pupils achieved greater depth in reading and 21 per cent in writing, though only 3 per cent hit that level across all three subjects.
