About Norton-Le-Moors Primary Academy

Norton-Le-Moors Primary Academy is a popular choice among local families, with 69 applications for 30 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.3. Of those, 37 put the school as their first preference, and all 30 first-preference applicants were offered a place. This level of demand suggests strong word-of-mouth among parents in Stoke-on-Trent, though the school does not publish a formal parent recommendation percentage. The school is led by headteacher Suzanne Rawlings and was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022. Notably, inspectors awarded an Outstanding grade for personal development, while quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, early years provision, and leadership and management were all rated Good. The school has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, with the previous one in 2017 also grading overall effectiveness as Good.
