Ludlow Primary School
About Ludlow Primary School
Ludlow Primary School’s headline metrics sit below the Shropshire local authority average for primary schools, which is 59 per cent of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. The school’s own figure of 50 per cent places it 9 percentage points behind the LA benchmark, and its ranking of 66th out of 127 primary schools in the county puts it in the bottom half of local state primaries. Nationally, it sits in the 79th percentile, meaning roughly one in five schools across England scored lower on this measure. That said, the school is not a poor performer across the board: its average scaled scores in reading and maths both sit at 103, which is exactly the national average of 100, and 73 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in maths alone. The gap is most pronounced in writing, where only 55 per cent reached the expected level, and no pupils at all achieved the higher standard in either writing or the combined RWM measure.
