About Priorslee Academy

Priorslee Academy is a popular choice among local families, with 125 applications for just 36 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.47. Of those 125 applicants, 27 put the school as their first preference, and all 27 were offered a place. This level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the community, though the school does not publish a parent-view survey or recommend percentage. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. It is a non-religious school in Telford and Wrekin, led by headteacher Jodie Cooper. The school currently has 441 pupils, slightly above its stated capacity of 420, which may reflect the high demand. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2022, confirmed the school remains Good, a rating it has held since at least 2012.
