About Hills Road Sixth Form College

Hills Road Sixth Form College sits in a curious position within Cambridgeshire’s secondary landscape. The local authority average Progress 8 score for state secondary schools is 0.17, which is already above the national baseline. Hills Road, however, is a 16-19 institution and therefore does not publish a Progress 8 score — that metric applies to schools with pupils from age 11 to 16. What the college does offer is a clear academic profile that stands apart from the typical secondary school in the area. It is one of only eight schools in the county rated Outstanding by Ofsted, out of 39 state secondaries total, placing it in the top tier locally. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is St Bede’s Inter-Church School, 1.8 kilometres away, but Hills Road’s specialism as a dedicated sixth form means it draws students from across Cambridge and beyond, not just its immediate catchment.
