About St Thomas and St Anne CofE Primary School
St Thomas and St Anne CofE Primary School is a Church of England state primary in Shropshire, serving 90 pupils from age 3 to 11. In the local authority’s primary school rankings, it sits at 71st out of 88 schools, placing it in the bottom half of the county. For context, the top-performing peers in Shropshire include Stottesdon CofE Primary School, St Lucia's CofE Primary School & Nursery, and Minsterley Primary School, all of which score significantly higher on the same ranking metric. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Oxon CofE Primary School, about 4. 1 kilometres away. St Thomas and St Anne itself holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2012, and an ungraded inspection in March 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. That’s a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2010, when it was judged to require improvement overall, with leadership and management and early years provision both requiring improvement at that time.
