About Saint Nathaniel's Academy
Saint Nathaniel's Academy, a Church of England primary in Stoke-on-Trent, holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recent inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard attainment, which sits at 49 per cent. That figure is notably below the local authority average of 60 per cent for Stoke-on-Trent, placing the school 45th out of 63 primaries in the area and in the bottom 50 per cent nationally. Digging into the individual subjects, 68 per cent of pupils reached the expected standard in writing, 66 per cent in maths, and 63 per cent in reading. At the higher standard, maths leads with 22 per cent, followed by reading at 15 per cent, but writing at the higher level is just 2 per cent. The average scaled scores for both reading and maths are 103, which is in line with the national average of 100.
