About Mill Hill Primary Academy

Mill Hill Primary Academy sits within the Stoke-on-Trent local authority, where it ranks 25th out of 63 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That puts it in the top half of schools locally, though it sits behind three top-performing peers in the same LA: Co-op Academy Glebe, Goldenhill Primary Academy, and Newstead Primary Academy, each of which achieved a ranking score of 90. Mill Hill is one of just 12 primary schools in Stoke-on-Trent rated Outstanding by Ofsted, and the nearest other Outstanding school is St Mary's Church of England Primary School, 1.1 kilometres away. The school is led by headteacher Adele Mills and serves a community with a high level of disadvantage: 54.2 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. Despite this, the school is heavily oversubscribed — for 60 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 89 total applications, with 63 first-preference applications and 58 first-preference offers made.
