About Hemlington Hall Academy

Hemlington Hall Academy is a state primary in Middlesbrough that, on its headline Key Stage 2 measure, sits just below the local authority average. The school’s combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score sits at 57%, compared with the Middlesbrough LA average of 62%. That five-point gap places it 25th out of 37 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of local schools. The picture is mixed when you dig deeper: 76% of pupils met the expected standard in writing, which is a solid result, but reading (65%) and maths (69%) both lag slightly behind. At the higher standard, just 11% of pupils achieved the top marks across all three subjects, which is a modest figure. The school has a high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 41.1%, well above the national average, so these results should be read in that context.
