About The Faber Catholic Primary School

The Faber Catholic Primary School is a primary school in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Roman Catholic religious character. Around 71 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 64% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 14.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 102 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). The Faber Catholic Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 11 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 5.0%. There are about 19.7 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 6% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. The Faber Catholic Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
