About Hackney New Primary School

Hackney New Primary School was rated Outstanding in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, and a subsequent ungraded visit in December 2024 confirmed that standards are being maintained. The school’s leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all received the top grade. But the most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 84 per cent. That figure puts the school well above the Hackney local authority average of 74 per cent and ranks it 11th out of 49 primary schools in the borough, placing it in the top 10 per cent of primaries across the country. With 33.2 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, these results suggest strong academic progress across a diverse intake.
