About schools in Telford and Wrekin
- How many schools are there in Telford and Wrekin?
- Telford and Wrekin has 84 open schools — 57 primary, 13 secondary, 4 special, 2 nursery, teaching 32,089 pupils in total.
- How many schools in Telford and Wrekin are rated Good or Outstanding?
- 53 of the 65 schools holding an Ofsted grade — 82% — are rated Good or Outstanding, including 5 rated Outstanding. That share is measured against graded schools, not all 84: a school inspected since September 2024 has no overall grade at all.
- What is the average Academic Performance in Telford and Wrekin?
- 4.6 out of 10, averaged across the 75 schools here that can be scored, where 5 is the national average. Academic Performance combines the Ofsted judgement with DfE attainment and is ranked against comparable schools, so it is neither figure on its own.
- Why do some Telford and Wrekin schools have no Ofsted rating?
- 19 schools in Telford and Wrekin currently hold no overall grade. Ofsted stopped awarding single-word judgements in September 2024 and moved to a report card of separately graded areas, so schools inspected since then have no overall rating whatever the inspection found. Their profiles show the report card instead.
- What does Telford and Wrekin local authority do?
- A local authority is the body responsible for state education in its area — the level most admissions and school-place decisions are made at. Telford and Wrekin covers 84 schools and sits in the West Midlands region. It does not run academies or independent schools directly, though it still coordinates admissions for most of them.
- How many pupils in Telford and Wrekin are eligible for free school meals?
- 28.1% — 8,754 of 31,199 pupils at the 72 schools that report it. Independent schools file a return with roll and sex only, so they are outside this figure rather than counted as zero.
