About Hamilton Academy

Hamilton Academy is a popular choice among local families, with 154 applications for 70 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.2. Of those, 64 families put the school as their first preference, and all of them received an offer. This level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the community, though the school does not publish a parent-view survey score. The school is led by headteacher Stephen Nunn and has a nursery provision for children from age three. It is a mixed, non-religious state primary in Buckinghamshire, with 656 pupils on roll — slightly above its official capacity of 628. Just over a fifth of pupils (22.3%) are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average and gives a sense of the school's intake.
