About St Gregory's Catholic Academy

St Gregory's Catholic Academy in Stoke-on-Trent holds the highest Ofsted rating of Outstanding, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2016, with an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirming the school remains Outstanding. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 80%. That is a full 20 percentage points above the Stoke-on-Trent local authority average of 60%, placing the school firmly in the top 25% of primaries nationally and 8th out of 63 schools in the LA. This strong performance is consistent across individual subjects: 92% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, 88% in reading and 85% in writing. The school also excels at stretching its highest achievers, with 14% of pupils reaching the higher standard across all three subjects, while 54% achieved the higher standard in maths alone.
