Sandford Hill, Stoke-on-Trent: Schools
Schools
Sandford Hill has solid primary provision. You've got 2 state schools in the neighbourhood — Sandford Hill Primary School and Gladstone Primary Academy — both rated Good by Ofsted. There's also Co-op Academy Clarice Cliff just outside the neighbourhood, which is working through an improvement journey.
Sandford Hill Primary was graded Good in a full inspection in October 2023, which carries more weight than a review. Both Sandford Hill Primary and Gladstone Primary Academy have a capacity of 480 places each, so there's reasonable local choice.
Co-op Academy Clarice Cliff currently Requires Improvement, but its latest report from November 2025 flagged strong standards across curriculum, behaviour, and leadership. It's heading in the right direction.
