About Redhill Primary Academy

Redhill Primary Academy stands out sharply against the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. While the Telford and Wrekin average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 63%, Redhill achieves 73% — a full ten percentage points higher. This places the school 9th out of 40 primary schools in the borough, comfortably inside the top 25% nationally. It is one of only eight schools in the local authority rated Outstanding by Ofsted, and its most recent inspection in June 2024 awarded top marks across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That’s a clean sweep of Outstanding grades, a significant upgrade from its previous Good rating in 2013. For parents comparing schools in Telford and Wrekin, Redhill’s headline metrics clearly signal a school performing well above the norm.
