About Fox Hill Primary

Just over 64% of parents who responded to Ofsted's Parent View survey would recommend Fox Hill Primary, though the data is based on only 14 responses, so it's a small sample. The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26, with 45 applications for 28 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.61. All 28 first-preference families received an offer. Parent responses were mixed on key questions: 72% agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 79% said the same about their child doing well. However, only 43% felt concerns were dealt with properly, and 57% agreed the school has high expectations for their child. On behaviour, 57% agreed the school ensures good behaviour, but 29% strongly disagreed. The school has a nursery provision and serves children aged 3 to 11, with headteacher Gaynor Kilmister leading a mixed, non-religious state primary in Sheffield.
