About Co-op Academy Northwood

Co-op Academy Northwood is a state primary in Stoke-on-Trent that serves children from age 3 to 7, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. That represents a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection, where the school was rated Requires Improvement. The local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 60, but it is worth noting that Northwood is an infant school only, so its pupils do not sit KS2 SATs at the end of Year 6 — they move on to a junior school before that point. This makes a direct headline comparison against the LA average less straightforward, but the school’s trajectory is positive. It is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 75 applications for 59 places and 52 first-preference offers, suggesting strong local demand. The school also has nursery provision, which will appeal to families looking for a single-site start from the earliest years.
