Abstract:		 Prior to the re-development of the former site of Trent Vale Primary School on Newcastle Road, Stoke-on-Trent (NGR SJ 86415 43370), an archaeological evaluation was carried out by Stoke-on Trent Archaeology. Part of the site had been occupied by a National School from 1845 until the 1970s when it was replaced by a more modern school, which was itself demolished in 2009. The rest of the site had been given over to allotment gardens in the early 20th century. The development area however also lies approximately 300m north west of a known Roman pottery kiln and a possible fort dating to the AD 1st century. The evaluation involved the excavation of six trenches, one of which was targeted to investigate the remains of the 19th-century school buildings and another to find domestic privies at the back of late Victorian houses fronting Newcastle Road. The remainder of the trenches were sited speculatively to assess for any evidence of Roman activity on the site. No evidence for Roman activity was encountered during the course of the evaluation and very little structural and artefactual evidence pertaining to the early school was found, although part of a suspected toilet block that stood in the playground until c.1924 was investigated and a building that may have been for domestic privies was also recorded. No material dating to before the early to mid 19th century was encountered in any of the trenches.
