About Hackwood Primary Academy

Hackwood Primary Academy was rated Good across all five categories in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, with inspectors noting solid provision in quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership, and early years. The school’s strongest academic signal comes from its Key Stage 2 results in the 2023/24 academic year, where 73% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure places Hackwood well above the Derby local authority average of 55% and ranks it 7th out of 58 primary schools in the area, putting it comfortably in the top 25% nationally. The school also performs strongly on individual subjects: 83% of pupils reached the expected level in reading, with 40% achieving the higher standard, while maths saw 77% at expected and 30% at the higher threshold. These outcomes suggest a school that consistently delivers above-average results for a state primary in Derby.
