About Harrington Hill Primary School

Harrington Hill Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit well above the Hackney average for primary schools, with 83% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the local authority average of 74%. That nine-percentage-point gap is a meaningful one, and it places the school 12th out of 49 primaries in the borough, comfortably inside the top quartile nationally. The school’s ranking score of 83 puts it in the top 10% of primary schools across England, a strong showing for a relatively small school of 186 pupils. While it doesn’t match the very top performers in Hackney — Simon Marks, Southwold and Grazebrook all score higher — Harrington Hill is clearly a solid, above-average option for families in the area, especially given that 51.9% of its pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average.
