About Morda CofE Primary School

Morda CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Shropshire that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 30 applications for just 20 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.5. Of those, 21 were first-preference applications, and all 20 places went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though Ofsted's Parent View data isn't available in the school's records to give a direct satisfaction percentage. The school itself is compact, with 116 pupils against a capacity of 147, and 16.4 per cent of children eligible for free school meals. Headteacher Carl Rogers leads a mixed, non-selective primary for ages 5 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
