About Long Mountain CofE Primary School

Long Mountain CofE Primary School is a Church of England state primary in Shropshire that currently has 134 pupils on roll, 14 more than its stated capacity of 120. This oversubscription is reflected in its admissions data for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 18 applications for 10 places, with all 10 first-preference applicants offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 8. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 15. 7%, which is above the national primary average of around 23% but worth noting in the local context. The school serves children from age 2 through to 11, with nursery provision on site, and is led by headteacher Jon-Anders Rowlands. Its mixed-gender intake and religious character as a CofE school suggest it draws families from the surrounding Shropshire area who value a faith-based setting, though the demand signal from admissions indicates it is a popular choice locally despite capacity constraints.
