About Whitfield Valley Primary Academy

Whitfield Valley Primary Academy’s headline metrics place it well ahead of the local authority average for primary schools in Stoke-on-Trent. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 81% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a LA average of just 60%. That 21-point gap is significant, and it’s backed up by strong average scores: 107 in reading and 105 in maths. The school also ranks 6th out of 63 primary schools in the local authority, putting it in the top 10% nationally. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in July 2024 awarded an overall Outstanding rating, with Outstanding in every category including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. That’s a clear upgrade from its previous Good rating in 2018, and it places Whitfield Valley among just 12 Outstanding primary schools in the entire authority.
