About Dothill Primary School

Dothill Primary School sits in the middle of the pack academically when you line it up against other primary schools in Telford and Wrekin. Its headline Key Stage 2 measure — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — comes in at 61%, just a whisker below the local authority average of 63%. That puts the school at 24th out of 40 primaries in the borough, or the 60th percentile, which is a solidly average position. More striking is the gap at the higher end: only 5% of Dothill pupils hit the higher standard across all three subjects, a figure that suggests the school is stronger at getting children to a secure baseline than at pushing them into the top tier. The school’s ranking places it in the bottom half nationally, but within the West Midlands it sits around the 54th percentile — broadly in line with regional norms.
