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.
