Hill View Primary School
About Hill View Primary School
Hill View Primary School in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a grade it has held consistently across its two most recent graded inspections. The school’s headline academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stood at 61% in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure is just below the local authority average of 63%, placing Hill View 31st out of 50 primary schools in the area and in the bottom half of schools nationally. Digging into the individual subjects, 74% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, 73% in maths and 68% in writing. At the higher standard, the picture is more mixed: 22% achieved higher scores in reading, 18% in maths, but only 6% in writing and just 3% across all three subjects. The average scaled scores of 104 in reading and 103 in maths are solid, if not exceptional.
