About Longlands Primary School

Longlands Primary School in Shropshire is a mixed state primary for ages 2 to 11, and it is currently running slightly above its official capacity of 210 with 217 pupils on roll. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 44.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is significantly above the national average for primary schools. Demand for places is strong, with the school oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake. It received 48 total applications for just 26 places, and all 26 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.85. This suggests that while the school is popular locally, families who put it as their first choice have a very strong chance of securing a place. The school also offers nursery provision, making it an option for families looking for continuity from early years through to the end of primary.
