High Ercall Primary School
About High Ercall Primary School
High Ercall Primary School sits within the Telford and Wrekin local authority, where it ranks 5th out of 40 primary schools of the same type. That places it in the top 25% of schools nationally, with a ranking score of 79 based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. The three schools above it in the local table are Moorfield Primary School, Newdale Primary School & Nursery, and Wrekin View Primary School, all scoring slightly higher. High Ercall is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no religious character and no nursery or sixth form provision. Headteacher Sarah Roberts leads a school of 146 pupils, just under its capacity of 156. The most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2023, confirmed the school remains Good, a rating it has held since its last graded inspection in 2012, when leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness were all judged Good.
