About Rushbury CofE Primary School

Rushbury CofE Primary School is a primary school in Church Stretton, Shropshire, classified by the DfE as a voluntary controlled school with a Church of England religious character. Around 54 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. 67% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 8.0 percentage points compared with the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 34% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 109 in reading and 109 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 11% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Rushbury CofE Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 8 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 4.3%. There are about 16.4 pupils per teacher. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
