Ellesmere Primary School

About Ellesmere Primary School

Ellesmere Primary School sits slightly below the Shropshire local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure, with 53% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a county average of 59%. That places the school 60th out of 88 primaries in Shropshire, putting it in the bottom half of the LA table. The gap is modest but worth noting for parents weighing up options. On the plus side, the school's maths average score of 104 is solid, and 69% of pupils hit the expected standard in maths individually, which is a stronger showing than the combined figure might suggest. Reading and writing expected rates sit at 59% and 76% respectively, so writing is a relative strength. The proportion reaching the higher standard across all three subjects is 10%, which is fairly typical for a school in this bracket. Ellesmere's most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2024, rated it Good across the board, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision, so the school is performing well in the round even if the headline exam figure trails the LA norm.
