About Norton-in-Hales CofE Primary School

Norton-in-Hales CofE Primary School sits in the bottom half of Shropshire primary schools when measured by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2. Its score of 37 per cent is well below the local authority average of 59 per cent, a gap of 22 percentage points that places the school 79th out of 88 similar schools in the county. That said, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In reading, 79 per cent of pupils met the expected standard, comfortably above the national benchmark, and 68 per cent did so in maths. The average scaled scores for both reading and maths sit at 104, which is exactly the national average. Where the school really struggles is writing — only 47 per cent of pupils reached the expected level, and none achieved the higher standard. This uneven profile suggests a school where reading and maths are broadly on track, but writing outcomes are a significant concern.
