Oakmeadow Church of England Primary and Nursery School sits within the Shropshire local authority, where it ranks 37th out of 88 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure.

The school is a state-funded, mixed Church of England primary with a nursery, serving children from age 2 to 11. It currently has 462 pupils on roll, which is above its stated capacity of 420, and a relatively low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 6. 4%. The school is oversubscribed for Reception entry in 2025/26, receiving 69 applications for 53 places, with 52 of those coming as first preferences. Headteacher Samantha Hill leads a school that has seen significant improvement in its Ofsted ratings over time.
