About Oakhill Primary School

Oakhill Primary School’s headline key stage 2 measure sits almost exactly on the Stoke-on-Trent average, with 61% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths against a local authority average of 60%. That places it 33rd out of 71 primary schools in the area, squarely in the middle of the pack. But the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 tells a more interesting story. While the overall effectiveness is Good, inspectors rated personal development and behaviour and attitudes as Outstanding — a significant achievement for a school where 40.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. This suggests a school that is particularly strong on character and conduct, even if its raw academic scores are unremarkable. The previous inspection in 2019 had rated the school Requires Improvement overall, so the jump to Good represents a clear upward trajectory under headteacher Stephen Smith.
