Packmoor Ormiston Academy
Stoke-on-Trent, ST7 4SP · Stoke-on-Trent · primary school
21st 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 4,325 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.7/10 among them, against 6.3/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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, 66.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 13.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.7 out of 10 among them, against 6.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs for computers, choir, eco, maths, cooking, and dance. Sports include cross country, swimming, football, and rugby. Arts activities feature recorders, theatre workshops, and a young voices concert. Trips visit Cadbury’s World, Apedale mining colliery, and France. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 435 pupils in a capacity of 420, meaning it is over capacity by 15. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the 15-pupil overage in daily operations? What specific support is provided for the 13.0% who reach the higher standard? How are the breakfast and after-school clubs structured to support families?
