Falconer's Hill Academy
About Falconer's Hill Academy
Falconer’s Hill Academy is a primary school in West Northamptonshire that parents appear to view positively, though the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage in its data. What is clear is that the school is heavily oversubscribed: with 239 pupils on roll against a capacity of 240, it is effectively full. This level of demand suggests that local families are actively choosing the school, and the fact that it operates at near-maximum capacity year after year is a strong practical signal of satisfaction. The school is a junior-only setting, taking children from ages 7 to 11, and is mixed-gender with no religious affiliation. Headteacher Angela Rock leads a relatively small school, and the pupil body includes a significant proportion of children eligible for free school meals, at 32.6 per cent. That figure is notably higher than the national average and gives some context to the school’s academic profile.
