Stottesdon CofE Primary School
About Stottesdon CofE Primary School
Stottesdon CofE Primary School’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025 did not assign an overall effectiveness grade, but the breakdown tells a clear story: personal development was rated Outstanding, while quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, early years provision, and leadership and management were all judged Good. The school was previously rated Outstanding in 2012. The single most telling exam metric is the Key Stage 2 combined figure: 94% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. That places Stottesdon first out of 88 primary schools in Shropshire, and 108th nationally out of 13,686 schools. For context, the local authority average for the same measure is 59%, so the school’s result is a significant outlier. The school’s ranking score of 94 puts it in the top 5% of primary schools nationally.
