About Carmountside Primary Academy

Carmountside Primary Academy’s Key Stage 2 results sit well below the Stoke-on-Trent local authority average. Across the borough, 60% of pupils reach the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, but at Carmountside that figure is just 40%. That 20-percentage-point gap places the school 57th out of 71 primaries in the area, firmly in the bottom half of the local rankings. Nationally, it sits in the bottom 10% of all primary schools. The school’s ranking score of 40 confirms that, on this headline metric, outcomes are a significant concern. Parents looking at raw attainment data will see a school that is substantially behind its local peers, and this is the most striking takeaway from the numbers.
