About Gladstone Primary Academy

Gladstone Primary Academy’s headline metrics place it below the Stoke-on-Trent local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 60%, Gladstone achieves just 43%. That gap of 17 percentage points is significant and positions the school in the bottom half of the LA rankings — 55th out of 63 primary schools. The picture is slightly more mixed when you look at individual subjects. In reading, 61% of pupils meet the expected standard, which is closer to the LA norm, and the average reading score of 103 is solid. Maths and writing expected rates are 57% and 59% respectively, again not far off the LA average. But the combined figure drags the overall result down, and the proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 2%. For parents focused on headline academic performance, Gladstone is clearly below the local benchmark.
