During an inspection in March last year Ofsted inspectors gave Dawley Church of England Primary Academy in Telford an overall effectiveness rating of ‘inadequate’ despite three of the four key areas being found as ‘good’.

The only ‘inadequate’ area was the leadership and management with inspectors criticising safeguarding policies.

A monitoring inspection carried out in December found that ‘swift action’ had been taken to address the weaknesses identified.

Ofsted inspectors re-visited the school last month and have now given the school an overall effectiveness of ‘good’ after rating the school ‘good’ in all of the four key areas.
