About Badger Hill Academy

Badger Hill Academy is a small primary school in Redcar and Cleveland, currently home to 149 pupils against a capacity of 210, meaning it has room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 19.5%, which is above the national average for primary schools and reflects the school's role in serving a community with above-average economic need. Despite this, the school is clearly popular with local families: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 13 applications for just 12 places, with 11 of those coming as first preferences. That oversubscription ratio of 1.08 suggests a school that is just about holding its own in a competitive local market, and it is worth noting that the school offers nursery provision for children from age two, which may be a key draw for parents looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
