About Christ Church CofE Primary Academy

Christ Church CofE Primary Academy is a Church of England state primary in Stoke-on-Trent, led by headteacher Paula Scattergood. It sits within a local authority that contains 71 primary schools, 12 of which hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school itself ranks 52nd out of those 63 primaries in the LA on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the bottom half locally. Its nearest Outstanding-rated peer is Co-op Academy Glebe, just half a kilometre away, which shares the top ranking score of 90 alongside Goldenhill Primary Academy and Newstead Primary Academy. Christ Church serves a community with high levels of disadvantage: 45.2 per cent of its 221 pupils are eligible for free school meals, and the school is oversubscribed, with 36 applications for 24 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. It offers nursery provision for children from age three and has a religious character that shapes its identity, with a chapel on site and a forest school among its facilities.
