About Welshampton CofE Primary School

Welshampton CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Shropshire, serving just 61 pupils from ages 5 to 11. In the local authority’s rankings for Key Stage 2 expected standards, it sits 14th out of 88 primary schools, placing it comfortably in the top quarter of Shropshire primaries. Its closest peers in the rankings are Stottesdon CofE Primary School, St Lucia's CofE Primary School & Nursery, and Minsterley Primary School, all of which score higher on the same metric. The school has a strong local reputation, reflected in its oversubscribed status for the 2025/26 intake: it received 17 applications for just 4 places, with all 4 first-preference families offered a spot. That’s an oversubscription ratio of 4.25, meaning demand far exceeds capacity. With a nursery on site and a Church of England character, it clearly appeals to local families looking for a faith-based, community-focused start to primary education.
