Moorpark Junior School
About Moorpark Junior School
Moorpark Junior School in Stoke-on-Trent is running almost at full capacity, with 239 pupils against a school capacity of 240, suggesting it is a popular choice for local families. The school serves a community with significantly higher-than-average levels of disadvantage: 53.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 23%. This context is important when interpreting the school’s academic results, as schools with high FSM rates often face additional challenges. Despite this, the school has maintained a Good rating from Ofsted since its last graded inspection in 2016, with an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirming it remains Good. The school is oversubscribed in the sense that it is nearly full, though the data does not specify how many applications it receives per place. It is a state-funded, mixed primary for ages 7 to 11, with no religious character, and is led by headteacher L Wright.
