About Whitchurch CofE Junior Academy

Whitchurch CofE Junior Academy was rated Good across all five categories in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a significant improvement from its previous overall rating of Inadequate in 2017. The school’s leadership and management, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and personal development all received a Good mark. On the key academic metric for primary schools, 58% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments. That figure sits just one percentage point below the Shropshire local authority average of 59%, placing the school 47th out of 88 primary schools in the area. While this is a solid middle-of-the-pack result, the school ranks in the bottom 50% nationally for this measure, suggesting there is room to push more pupils over the expected threshold.
