Redhill Primary Academy

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.

Digging into the detail of the 2023/24 KS2 results, Redhill’s strengths are consistent across the core subjects. In maths, 88% of pupils reached the expected standard and 39% achieved the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 108. Reading saw 78% at expected and 38% at higher, with an average score of 107. Writing was similarly strong, with 88% at expected and 25% at higher. The combined expected standard figure of 73% is the school’s headline ranking metric, and the 17% who reached the higher standard across all three subjects shows solid stretch for more able pupils. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it’s not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to starting points, but the raw attainment figures are clearly above the LA average. The school’s ranking score of 73 places it just behind top local peers like Moorfield and Newdale (both scoring 85), but still well within the top quartile regionally and nationally.

Redhill is a larger-than-average primary with 485 pupils against a capacity of 420, and it is heavily oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, there were 191 applications for 59 places, with 88 first-preference applications for those 59 spots — a ratio of 3.24 applicants per place. That level of demand tells its own story. The school offers a nursery provision for children from age 3, and its facilities include a dining hall, music rooms, outdoor playground, sports hall and a chapel. Sports on offer include gymnastics, dance, football, athletics, cross country, tennis and cricket, while clubs range from drama and choir to coding and gardening. The SEND provision is broad, covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social and emotional mental health needs, speech and language communication needs, hearing impairment, multi-sensory impairment and autistic spectrum disorder. For families in Telford and Wrekin looking for a high-attaining, oversubscribed primary with strong Ofsted credentials and a wide range of activities, Redhill is clearly a popular choice — but securing a place will require a first-preference application.
