Lawley Primary School and Nursery
About Lawley Primary School and Nursery
Lawley Primary School and Nursery was rated Good across all five categories in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a rating it has held consistently since at least 2013. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score: 60% of pupils met this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits just below the Telford and Wrekin local authority average of 63%, placing Lawley 26th out of 40 primary schools in the area. The school’s national percentile ranking of 58th places it in the bottom half of all primary schools nationally, though it is worth noting that the school is oversubscribed, with 137 applications for 60 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, suggesting strong local demand.
