Werrington Primary School

School overview

Werrington Primary School is a primary school serving Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 467 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. 67% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 10.0 percentage points year on 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 106 in reading and 103 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 5% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Werrington Primary School is oversubscribed: about 10 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 61 first choices for 60 places. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 1.71 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 4.4%. There are about 22.2 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 7% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Werrington 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.
