About Fenstanton and Hilton Primary School

Fenstanton and Hilton Primary School sits in the middle of the pack academically when compared against the Cambridgeshire local authority average for primary schools. Its key stage 2 results show that 57% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is just one percentage point below the LA average of 58%. That places the school 109th out of 210 primary schools in the authority, a solidly mid-table position. The school’s own ranking within Huntingdonshire puts it at 28th out of 55 schools, again right around the median. What stands out more is the spread of individual subject scores: reading and maths both saw 77% of pupils reach the expected standard, well above the combined figure, which suggests writing is the subject dragging the headline number down. Only 69% hit the expected standard in writing, and just 6% achieved the higher standard in that subject.
