About Captain Webb Primary School

Captain Webb Primary School in Telford and Wrekin is a state primary for children aged 2 to 11, and it is currently running well above its official capacity. With 464 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is clearly in demand, and the admissions data for 2025/26 backs that up: 68 applications were received for just 47 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.45 applicants per place. Of those, 38 were first-preference applications, and all 38 received an offer. The school serves a community with a higher-than-average level of disadvantage — 36.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 23%. That context makes the school’s performance particularly notable. It is a mixed, non-religious school with no formal faith character, and it offers nursery provision for the youngest children. The headteacher is Sarah Passey, who has led the school through a significant improvement journey in recent years.
