About Lilleshall Primary School

Lilleshall Primary School is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 5 to 11 in Telford and Wrekin, and it is running exactly at capacity with 214 pupils on roll. That is a tight fit for a school that is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 81 applications for just 30 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.7 applicants per place. Of those, 39 were first-preference applications, and only 29 first-preference offers were made, so securing a spot is competitive. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 8.9%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. The school is non-denominational and has no nursery provision, so it serves the primary years only. Christobel Cousins is the headteacher, and the school has a strong local reputation, ranking 4th out of 40 primary schools in Telford and Wrekin, placing it in the top 10% of the local authority.
