About Weston Infant Academy

Weston Infant Academy is a state primary school in Stoke-on-Trent for children aged 3 to 7, and it is currently running well below its capacity. With 120 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 240, the school has room to grow, yet demand for places is notably strong. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 40 total applications for just 22 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.82. All 22 first-preference applicants were offered a place, meaning that while the school is popular, families who put it first are likely to secure a spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 27.5%, which is significantly above the national average for primary schools in England (typically around 23-24%), indicating that the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. The school has nursery provision on site, so families with younger children can start their child’s education here from age three.
