About Abbey Hulton Primary School

Abbey Hulton Primary School was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2016, and an ungraded inspection in October 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. This marks a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2013, when it was judged to require improvement overall. The most telling exam metric for this 207-pupil primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 48 per cent. That is notably below the Stoke-on-Trent local authority average of 60 per cent, placing the school 47th out of 63 primaries in the area. In the broader West Midlands region, it ranks in the bottom 20 per cent of schools nationally for this combined measure. The school’s average scores in reading and maths both sit at 101, exactly the national benchmark, but the percentage of pupils reaching the higher standard in these subjects is low — just 6 per cent in maths and 16 per cent in reading.
