Hardwick Primary School

About Hardwick Primary School

Hardwick Primary School sits within the Derby local authority, where it ranks 41st out of 58 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it in the bottom half of the LA, some way behind the top-performing peers in the area — Griffe Field Primary School, Gayton Junior School and St Mary's Catholic Voluntary Academy, all of which score considerably higher on the same metric. The school is significantly oversubscribed, with 195 applications for 60 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and 81 of those were first-preference choices. Jonathan Gallimore is the headteacher. The school is non-religious and co-educational, serving children from age 3 to 11. It currently has 593 pupils on roll, which is above its stated capacity of 540, and a high proportion of pupils — 63.2 per cent — are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average.
