40th of 64 primary schools in Stoke-on-Trent we can score, 71 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 2,795 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.3/10 among them, against 5.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 12 | 35% | 0.40 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Ash Green Primary Academy
Overview
Ash Green Primary Academy provides a high-quality education where pupils feel "included, valued and listened to." The report highlights a "highly supportive and nurturing environment" with strong personal development, though it notes that teaching consistency in core subjects and pupil engagement require further refinement to ensure all children make sustained progress.
Strengths
- Safeguarding standards are met, with an "open culture" where concerns are "actively identified, acted upon and managed."
- Personal development is rated at a "Strong standard," with pupils developing "confidence, resilience and independence" through meaningful experiences.
- Reading is a "clear strength," with most pupils securing necessary phonics knowledge in Year 1 and outcomes sitting "above the national average."
- Attendance is high, with leaders working "compassionately with families" to remove barriers for disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs.
- Staff morale is positive, with leaders placing a "genuine emphasis on staff's wellbeing and workload."
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure "greater consistency in the teaching of writing and mathematics" by refining adaptive teaching so work is "precisely matched to pupils’ starting points."
- Leaders should promote "consistently high levels of pupil engagement," as engagement is "not consistently high across all classes."
- In the early years, staff should "consistently maximise opportunities for purposeful, high-quality interactions" to accelerate progress for all children.
Safeguarding
The report states that "safeguarding standards are met," ensuring that "pupils are made safer and feel safe" through effective leadership and an open culture of responsibility.
