Burnwood Primary Academy
About Burnwood Primary Academy
Burnwood Primary Academy is a mixed state primary in Stoke-on-Trent with a school capacity of 690, making it one of the larger primaries in the local authority. The school offers nursery provision for children from age two, so it can take children earlier than many primaries in the area. The most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2019, rated the school Good overall, with Good marks for early years provision, leadership and management, and the ungraded outcome confirmed the school remains Good. This is a significant improvement from the school’s previous graded inspection in 2015, when it was rated Requires Improvement across the board. The school’s religious character is listed as “Does not apply,” so it is a non-denominational option for local families. The school has a range of facilities including a library, sports hall, sensory room, art studios, and even a chapel, which is unusual for a non-religious school. The local authority has 12 outstanding primaries out of 71 total, so Burnwood’s Good rating places it in the solid middle tier of Stoke-on-Trent schools.
