Myddle CofE Primary School

About Myddle CofE Primary School

Myddle CofE Primary School in Shropshire has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Inadequate rating. The school’s leadership and management are also judged Good, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric comes from Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 year: 59% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure is exactly in line with the Shropshire local authority average of 59%, placing Myddle in the middle of the pack. It ranks 46th out of 88 primary schools in the county, sitting in the bottom half of the LA table. Nationally, the school sits around the 60th percentile, meaning it performs broadly in line with the typical English primary school.

Digging deeper into the KS2 results, Myddle’s strongest individual subject is writing, where 82% of pupils reached the expected standard and 12% achieved a higher standard. In reading, 71% met the expected level and 29% reached the higher standard, while maths saw 76% at expected and 18% at higher. Average scaled scores in reading and maths both sit at 103, just above the national benchmark of 100. No progress scores are available for the school, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points. The school has no sixth form, as it is a primary-only setting, and its nursery provision means children can join from age two. With only 117 pupils on roll against a capacity of 84, the school is clearly popular and operating above its intended size.

Myddle is oversubscribed for Reception entry in 2025/26, with 25 applications for just 9 places and an oversubscription ratio of 2.78. All 9 first-preference applicants were offered a place, so families who put it first have a strong chance. The school offers a range of facilities including a library, sensory room, ICT suite and chapel, and runs clubs such as science, drama, choir, eco club, film club and chess. Sports provision covers football, gymnastics, cricket, tennis and netball. The school has identified SEND support for specific learning difficulties including dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social emotional and mental health needs, speech language and communication needs, and physical disability. With its Church of England character, small size and strong community feel, Myddle suits families looking for a solid, improving village primary with good pastoral support and a broad extracurricular offer.
