Hillside Primary School
About Hillside Primary School
Hillside Primary School in Wokingham was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous rating of Requires Improvement in 2012. The school has held a Good rating since at least 2014, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good. Leadership and management were also judged Good. For a primary school, the most telling academic metric is Key Stage 2 SATs performance, and here Hillside’s data is notable: its average KS2 score sits at 70, which is exactly in line with the Wokingham local authority average. That places Hillside among the solidly performing primary schools in the area, though it is not among the top-ranked peers like St Dominic Savio Catholic Primary School or Sonning Church of England Primary School, which score higher on the local ranking. Still, maintaining the LA average is a strong indicator that pupils are making expected progress, especially given the school’s journey from Requires Improvement to Good.
