Hartside Primary Academy
About Hartside Primary Academy
Hartside Primary Academy is clearly a school that local families trust. In the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 76 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.53. Of the 39 families who put it as their first preference, all 30 places went to those applicants. That level of demand speaks for itself. The school is a state primary for children aged 2 to 11, with a nursery on site, and is rated Good by Ofsted. Its most recent graded inspection was in 2016, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good. Leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness were all rated Good at the last graded inspection. The school has improved from its previous inspection, when it was judged to require improvement.
