About St George's Junior School

St George's Junior School is a state primary in Shropshire for children aged 7 to 11, and it is running very close to capacity. With 352 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 360, places are tight. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 13. 1%, which is slightly below the national average for primary schools. The school is non-denominational and mixed, and it is led by headteacher Kelly Lee. Despite the squeeze on spaces, the school does not appear to be oversubscribed to the point of turning families away at the gate, but the numbers suggest that anyone considering it should get their application in early. The local area has a strong primary sector, with seven schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted, including Woodfield Infant School & Nursery just 0. 1 km away, so St George's competes in a crowded market.
