The Martin Wilson School
About The Martin Wilson School
The Martin Wilson School is a mixed, state-funded primary in Shropshire, serving children aged 2 to 11. Within the local authority’s 127 primary schools, it sits some distance from the top-ranked peers. The highest-rated local school is Stottesdon CofE Primary School, followed by St Lucia's CofE Primary School & Nursery and Minsterley Primary School. For families seeking an Outstanding-rated alternative, the nearest option is Coleham Primary School, 1.9 kilometres away. Shropshire has only seven Outstanding primaries in total, so competition for places at those schools is likely fierce. The Martin Wilson School itself holds a Requires Improvement rating from Ofsted, which places it below the majority of its local peers. Headteacher David Purslow leads a school with capacity for 234 pupils, and it offers nursery provision for the youngest children. The school’s facilities include a library, playing fields, music rooms, a forest school, an outdoor playground, and a chapel.
