About Glascote Academy

Glascote Academy is a mixed state primary school in Tamworth, Staffordshire, for children aged 4 to 11. In the local authority's primary school rankings, it sits 5th out of 21 schools in the Tamworth area, placing it comfortably in the top quarter of its immediate peers. However, across the wider Staffordshire local authority, which contains 308 primary schools, Glascote ranks 129th. The top-performing schools in the county include St John's Catholic Primary School, Woodseaves CE Primary Academy, and Needwood CofE Primary School, all of which achieved the maximum ranking score. Glascote's own ranking score of 60 places it in the bottom 50 nationally, though this metric is based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, which is just one measure of a school's overall performance.
