About Moreton Say CofE Primary School

Moreton Say CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in the Shropshire local authority, serving 123 pupils from age 2 to 11. It sits within a competitive local landscape of 127 state primary schools, where only seven currently hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school’s top-performing peers in the area include Stottesdon CofE Primary School, St Lucia's CofE Primary School & Nursery, and Minsterley Primary School, all of which rank highly on the local league table. Moreton Say itself was graded Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a rating it has held consistently across both its recent inspections. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year, receiving 29 applications for just 15 places, with 18 of those applications coming as first preferences. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, particularly among families seeking a faith-based primary with a nursery provision attached.
