About Goldenhill Primary Academy

Goldenhill Primary Academy is rated Good overall by Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2023, but the detail tells a more nuanced story. The school achieved an Outstanding rating in two of the five inspected categories: early years provision and personal development. In terms of academic outcomes, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2. That figure stands at 90 per cent, which is significantly above the Stoke-on-Trent local authority average of 60 per cent. This performance places Goldenhill first among 63 primary schools in the local authority rankings, and in the top two per cent nationally. The school’s previous inspection, back in 2010, awarded it an Outstanding overall, so the current Good rating represents a change in grade, though the early years provision has held onto its Outstanding status across both inspections.
