About Springhead Primary School

Springhead Primary School sits within Staffordshire local authority, one of 308 primary schools in the area, and holds a Good rating from Ofsted. Among its local peers, the top-ranked schools in the authority are St John's Catholic Primary School, Woodseaves CE Primary Academy, and Needwood CofE Primary School, all of which achieved the highest possible ranking score. Springhead, under headteacher Ashley Jones, is a mixed, state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site. It is based in Newcastle-under-Lyme and has no religious character.
