Every child who put Greenacres 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.

About Greenacres Primary School

Greenacres Primary School is a primary school in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 124 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. 50% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 17.0 percentage points year on 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 lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 99 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Greenacres Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 10 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 7.3%. There are about 17.0 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 58% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Greenacres 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.
