Greenways Primary Academy
About Greenways Primary Academy
Greenways Primary Academy in Stoke-on-Trent has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent ungraded inspection in January 2025, which noted that the school has improved significantly since its previous graded inspection in 2013, when it was judged to require improvement. The school's leadership and management are also rated Good. But the most telling academic metric is the proportion of Year 6 pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 83 per cent. That is well above the Stoke-on-Trent local authority average of 60 per cent, placing Greenways fifth out of 63 primary schools in the area, comfortably inside the top 10 per cent locally. The school also ranks in the top 7 per cent nationally for this measure, which gives a clear snapshot of solid, consistent teaching across the core subjects.
