About Hartshill Academy

Just over half of parents who responded to the most recent Parent View survey would recommend Hartshill Academy to another family, which gives a sense of the mixed feelings around the school. The school is oversubscribed, with more applications than places available, suggesting it remains a popular choice in the North Warwickshire area despite some clear challenges. Hartshill is a mixed, non-religious secondary for pupils aged 11 to 16, with 990 students on roll. Headteacher Lorraine Taylor leads a school that was rated Requires Improvement by Ofsted in its most recent inspection. The school offers a broad range of facilities including tennis courts, playing fields, a theatre, science labs, and a sixth form centre, plus clubs like the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, coding, and orchestra. For families weighing up their options, the parent recommendation rate and oversubscription are useful starting points, but the academic picture tells a more detailed story.
