About Hexthorpe Primary School

Hexthorpe Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 34 of 40 places offered to first-preference applicants in the 2025/26 admissions round and an oversubscription ratio of 1.13. While the school doesn't publish a parent recommendation percentage, the fact that it received 45 total applications for its 40 places suggests a solid local reputation. The school has made significant strides since its previous Ofsted inspection in 2020, when it was rated Requires Improvement. In its most recent inspection in 2023, it achieved an overall Good rating, with Good marks for quality of education, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. The early years provision remains Requires Improvement, which is worth noting for parents of younger children. With 56.8% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a community with above-average deprivation, and its nursery provision means children can join from age three.
