Maple Court Academy
Stoke-on-Trent, ST2 0QD · Stoke-on-Trent · primary school
54th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 2.3/10 against 502 of them, against 1.4/10 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 | 35.0 · 5 | 40% | 0.20 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 35.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (2.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in cricket clubs, Bikeability, and Chance 2 Shine programs, alongside swimming, football, athletics, and dodgeball.
Getting in. The school has 428 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 8. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine when operating over its stated capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard in literacy? Since there is no breakfast or after-school club, what options exist for parents needing care before or after the school day?
