Stoke-on-Trent, ST3 6HZ · Stoke-on-Trent · primary school
19th 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 — 8.2/10 against 480 of them, against 6.5/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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, 72.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in swimming, athletics, dance, futsal, and gymnastics. Trips include visits to the Blue Planet Aquarium, Peak Wildlife Park, and a London trip featuring the Harry Potter Studio Tour. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 697 pupils in a capacity of 705 places, leaving 8 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific support is offered to help the 8.0% who reached the higher standard? How does the school manage the competitive nature of its 8 remaining places?
