About Hall Park Academy

Hall Park Academy in Broxtowe was rated Good overall by Ofsted in its most recent inspection in June 2024, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2022. The school earned Good marks across every category inspected, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and its sixth-form provision. However, the headline exam metric tells a more complicated story. The school’s Progress 8 score for the 2023/24 academic year stands at -0.73, which is well below average nationally and ranks it 40th out of 46 secondary schools in Nottinghamshire. This means that, on average, pupils at Hall Park Academy achieved nearly three-quarters of a grade less per subject than pupils with similar starting points across England. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 41.3 is also modest, and only 35.9% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths.
