About Hampton Vale Primary Academy

Hampton Vale Primary Academy is a state-funded mixed primary school in Peterborough that is currently running well above its official capacity. With 689 pupils on roll against a published capacity of 630, the school is clearly in high demand locally, and the 2025/26 admissions data bears that out: 139 applications were received for just 65 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.14. Of those applicants, 63 put the school as their first preference, meaning virtually every first-choice family secured a place. The school serves a community where 18% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national primary average of around 23% but worth noting in the context of Peterborough’s wider demographics. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age 0, which adds to its appeal for families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
