Ranked: The top 30 primary schools in Shropshire for pupils meeting 'expected standard'
As school is nearly out for summer, we take a look at the best-rated primary schools in Shropshire.
From data available on the Government website, we have ranked primary schools in the county by the percentage of pupils that met the expected standard last year.
Students met the expected standard if they achieve a scaled score of 100 or more in their reading and maths tests, and if their teacher assesses them as 'working at the expected standard' or better in writing.
Based on the data from 2023, here are the top 30 primary schools in Shropshire.

Trinity CofE Primary School at Ford and Rushbury CofE Primary School in Rushbury shared the top spot as all (100 per cent) of their pupils met the expected standard.
24 per cent of children at Trinity CofE Primary School achieved at a higher standard than expected while 14 per cent did at Rushbury CofE Primary School.
The government website states: "Pupils are achieving at a higher standard if they achieve a scaled score of 110 or more in their reading and maths tests, and their teacher assesses them as ‘working at a greater depth within the expected standard’ in writing."
