About Clunbury CofE Primary School

Clunbury CofE Primary School sits in the bottom half of Shropshire primary schools when ranked by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, placing 72nd out of 88 schools in the local authority. That 44 per cent figure is notably below the Shropshire average of 59 per cent for the same metric, so families looking at headline attainment will see a gap to close. However, the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021 rated it Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2017. This suggests that while current exam results lag the LA norm, the school’s overall effectiveness has been judged solidly by inspectors. With just 60 pupils on roll against a capacity of 90, it is a small, Church of England primary that feels intimate, and its nursery provision means children can join from age two.
