About Priory CofE Academy

Priory CofE Academy is a Church of England primary in Stoke-on-Trent that is clearly in demand. With 423 pupils on roll against a capacity of 487, it is not yet full, but the oversubscription figures tell a different story. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 83 applications for just 54 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.54. Of those, 48 were first-preference applications, and all 48 received offers. That suggests a school that is popular with local families but not so oversubscribed that it is out of reach for those who prioritise it. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 18 per cent, which is above the national average for primary schools and reflects the local context of Stoke-on-Trent. The school also offers nursery provision, so children can join from age three, and the headteacher is Jennifer Cunliffe.
