About Kingsland CofE Academy
Kingsland CofE Academy is a Church of England primary school in Stoke-on-Trent, one of 71 state primary schools in the local authority. It ranks 59th among them, placing it in the bottom half of the area’s schools. For context, the top-performing peers in the same LA — Co-op Academy Glebe, Goldenhill Primary Academy, and Newstead Primary Academy — all achieved a ranking score of 90, a significant gap from Kingsland’s position. The school is led by headteacher Sara Goddard and has a mixed intake of 462 pupils aged 2 to 11, with capacity for 519. Over 46% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, reflecting the school’s role in a community with higher-than-average deprivation. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Our Lady and St Benedict Catholic Academy, just 0.8 km away, which may be a consideration for families prioritising that rating.
