Willows Primary Academy

About Willows Primary Academy

Willows Primary Academy sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 65, but the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection – carried out in 2012 – awarded it an overall rating of Outstanding, a grade held by only 20 of the 308 primary schools in Staffordshire. That puts it in a select minority, though it is worth noting the inspection is now over a decade old. The school’s leadership and management were also judged Outstanding in that same inspection, while its previous 2008 inspection rated overall effectiveness as Good. So the trajectory, at least on paper, has been upward. With 432 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is running slightly over capacity, and 36 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals – a figure that gives some indication of the intake’s socio-economic mix.
