About St Peter's Bratton Church of England Academy

St Peter's Bratton Church of England Academy sits in the middle of the pack for Telford and Wrekin primary schools, with 65% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 — just above the local authority average of 63%. That places the school 16th out of 40 primaries in the LA, or around the 40th percentile, and 17th when ranked against all 56 schools of its type in the borough. The school's overall Ofsted rating, however, tells a more cautious story: Requires Improvement, following its July 2024 inspection. That's a significant drop from its previous Outstanding grade in 2012. The inspection found quality of education and early years provision both require improvement, while personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management were all rated Good. So while headline attainment is in line with local norms, the school is clearly in a period of transition under headteacher Rhonda Welsh.
