About Hatchell Wood Primary Academy
Hatchell Wood Primary Academy sits within the Doncaster local authority, a large primary landscape of 98 schools where only four hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school itself ranks 51st out of 87 primaries in the LA on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it just inside the bottom half of its local peers. The top-performing schools nearby include Crookesbroom Primary Academy, St Oswald’s CofE Academy and Arksey Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. For families prioritising an Outstanding rating, the nearest such school is Grange Lane Infant Academy, about three kilometres away. Hatchell Wood is a mixed, non-denominational state primary for children aged four to eleven, led by headteacher Felicity Burton. It currently has 410 pupils on roll, just ten short of its full capacity of 420, and 26.6 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that gives a sense of the school’s intake.
