About Hillside Primary School

Parent feedback at Hillside Primary School is mixed, with 67% of respondents saying they would recommend the school, though this is based on just 18 responses. The school is heavily oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 76 applications for 35 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.17, and all 31 first-preference applicants were offered a place. On specific questions, 89% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child feels safe, and 78% agreed their child does well. However, only 39% agreed that concerns are dealt with properly, and 33% said they would not recommend the school. The most recent Ofsted inspection in December 2024 rated the school Good across all areas including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. This was consistent with its previous Good rating from 2018, though that earlier inspection had rated early years provision as Requires Improvement.
