About Weston Junior Academy

Weston Junior Academy sits in the middle of the pack in Stoke-on-Trent, ranking 27th out of 63 primary schools in the local authority. Its headline metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — stands at 63%, which is three percentage points above the local authority average of 60%. That places the school in the top half of its peers nationally, around the 48th percentile. For a school where nearly 30% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, this is a solid result that suggests the school is doing a decent job of supporting its intake. The school is not among the very highest performers in the area — the top three schools in Stoke-on-Trent all score 90 — but it is comfortably above the baseline, and its ranking puts it ahead of more than half of the 71 primary schools in the authority.
