Alpha Learning Staffordshire

Stoke-on-Trent, Stoke-on-Trent, West Midlands · ST6 2AW

Alpha Learning Staffordshire is a notably small independent school in Stoke-on-Trent, with around 21 pupils on roll and no religious affiliation. The vast majority of its pupils receive SEN support, at close to 86 per cent, which points to a school built around individual needs rather than scale. It admits boys and girls from age 11 and offers entry at the 11+ stage. Inspection is carried out by the ISI, and the school is led by Miss Nadine Wedgwood. Families considering it should weigh its specialist, small-group character against published attainment figures that sit well below national levels.

Teaching & academics

The school teaches towards GCSE qualifications. Its average Attainment 8 score is 5.0, against a national average of 46.9, and no pupils currently achieve grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with a national figure of 47 per cent. With more than four in five pupils on SEN support, these headline results need to be read in the context of a cohort with significant additional needs, where progress may be measured differently from a mainstream setting.
