About Morville CofE (Controlled) Primary School

Morville CofE (Controlled) Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Shropshire, with just 67 pupils on roll against a capacity of 70. In the local authority’s primary school rankings, it sits at 54th out of 88 schools, placing it in the bottom half of Shropshire’s state primaries. The top-performing peers in the area are Stottesdon CofE Primary School, St Lucia’s CofE Primary School & Nursery, and Minsterley Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. Oversubscription is a clear sign of local demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 13 applications for just one available place, with a single first-preference offer made. That ratio of 13 applicants per place suggests that while the school may not top the league tables, it holds strong appeal for families in the immediate catchment. Headteacher Claire Gaskin leads a mixed, non-selective state primary for children aged 5 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
