About Muxton Primary School

Muxton Primary School is a mixed state primary in Telford and Wrekin, currently home to 408 pupils against a capacity of 420, meaning it runs very close to full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 14%, which is a useful benchmark for the area. Demand is clearly strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 70 applications for 38 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.84, and only 36 first-preference offers were made. That suggests a school that local families are actively choosing, despite the numbers being tight. The school does not have a religious character, and there is no nursery provision or sixth form, so it serves a straightforward 5–11 age range. The headteacher is Jenny Pritchard, who took over leadership at a time when the school was rated Good in its previous inspection but has since seen its Ofsted rating slip.
