About Hampton Hargate Primary School

Hampton Hargate Primary School is a large state primary in Peterborough, currently home to 638 pupils, just four short of its full capacity of 642. That near-full roll makes sense given the level of demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 203 applications for 90 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.26. Of those, 97 families put it as their first preference, and 87 first-preference offers were made. The school’s intake is notably less disadvantaged than the national average, with 16.8% of pupils eligible for free school meals compared with around 23% nationally. It’s a mixed, non-denominational school with no religious character, and it does not have a nursery or sixth form. The headteacher is Andy Lyons, who leads a school that has held an Outstanding Ofsted rating since at least 2015, and that rating was reaffirmed in its most recent graded inspection in March 2025.
