About Maple Court Academy

Maple Court Academy is a state primary school in Stoke-on-Trent that is currently running at full capacity, with 428 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420. The school serves a community with significantly higher-than-average levels of disadvantage: 62.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national average of around 23%. This context is important for understanding the school’s results and the challenges it faces. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 52 applications for 41 places, with 40 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.27. That means roughly one in four applicants missed out on their first choice, a clear signal that local families rate the school highly. The school is non-denominational, with no religious character, and is led by headteacher Louise Brammer. It also has a nursery provision, taking children from age three.
