Every child who put Greenfields Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

School overview

Greenfields Primary School is a primary school serving Shrewsbury, Shropshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 369 pupils aged 2 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 81% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 35.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 14% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 13% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Greenfields Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 38 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 6.8%. There are about 25.6 pupils per teacher. Greenfields Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
