About Packmoor Ormiston Academy

Packmoor Ormiston Academy is a mixed state primary for ages 3 to 11 in Stoke-on-Trent, and it is currently running slightly over its official capacity of 420 pupils with 435 on roll. That oversubscription is no accident: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 71 applications for 57 places, with all 57 first-preference families offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.25. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 12.6 per cent, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively stable, less deprived intake than many schools in the local authority. The school is non-denominational and does not have a religious character, so it draws from a broad catchment. With nursery provision on site, it also caters for children from age three, which may appeal to families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
