About Rushbury CofE Primary School

Rushbury CofE Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, though its previous inspection in 2017 rated it Outstanding across the board. The drop reflects a shift in the inspection framework rather than a decline in standards; Ofsted’s breakdown shows the school still achieves Outstanding for personal development and for behaviour and attitudes. On the key academic metric for primary schools, 75% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments. That figure sits well above the Shropshire local authority average of 59%, placing Rushbury 16th out of 88 primary schools in the county and inside the top 25% nationally. The school’s overall ranking score of 75 confirms it as a strong performer within its local area.
