Hamilton Primary School

About Hamilton Primary School

Hamilton Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit slightly above the local authority average for Essex, but the gap is modest. In the 2023/24 academic year, 65% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 62%. That three-point difference places Hamilton in the middle of the pack locally — it ranks 28th out of 51 primary schools in Colchester, and 185th out of 444 across the whole of Essex. The school’s national percentile of around 45 means it performs broadly in line with the typical English primary. What’s more telling is the spread of attainment: reading and maths average scores are 106 and 105 respectively, both a touch above the national benchmark of 100, and 87% of pupils reached the expected level in reading alone. The school is oversubscribed by a ratio of 3.12 to one, with 67 first-preference applications for 60 places, which suggests local families see it as a solid, reliable choice.
