St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School and Nursery
About St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School and Nursery
St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School and Nursery sits in Shropshire, a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 59. The school itself doesn't have published KS2 results in the available data, so a direct comparison against that LA average isn't possible from the numbers alone. What is clear, however, is that the school has held a Good rating from Ofsted across both its recent inspections, with a notable improvement in its early years provision. In the 2014 inspection, early years was graded 3 (Requires Improvement), but by the most recent graded inspection in March 2019, it had jumped to 1 (Outstanding). That's a significant shift and suggests the nursery and Reception provision is now a real strength. The school is one of only seven primaries in Shropshire to hold an Outstanding rating in any category, which puts it in a small minority within the 127 state primary schools in the LA.
