About Hinde House 2-16 Academy

Hinde House 2-16 Academy's headline Progress 8 score of -0.07 sits well above the Sheffield local authority average of -0.4 for secondary schools, placing it comfortably in the top third of its peers. This is a school that, on the central measure of pupil progress, is delivering results significantly stronger than the typical school in the area. It ranks 8th out of 29 secondary schools in Sheffield, putting it in the 27th percentile locally and just above the national median. The school's Attainment 8 score of 38.9 and its basics pass rate (a grade 4 or above in English and maths) of 50.9% provide a solid foundation. While the school is oversubscribed, with 465 applications for 210 places in 2025/26, it managed to offer first preference to 202 of the 257 families who put it top of their list, suggesting strong local demand.

Digging into the subject-level Progress 8 breakdown, the picture is nuanced. Pupils made positive progress in maths, with a score of +0.17, and essentially kept pace in English at +0.01. However, the EBacc subjects and open element dragged the overall figure down, with scores of -0.24 and -0.14 respectively. Only 25.7% of pupils entered the EBacc suite of subjects, and just 9% achieved a grade 5 or above in it. The school's most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2012 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management judged Outstanding. A subsequent ungraded inspection in 2021 confirmed the school remains Good. Parent View responses from 2024/25 are broadly positive, with 87% of the 52 respondents recommending the school, and strong majorities agreeing their child is happy (77%) and does well (85%).

Hinde House is a large all-through academy for pupils aged 2 to 16, with a nursery provision but no official sixth form. It is significantly oversubscribed, with an oversubscription ratio of 2.21, so securing a place is competitive. The school serves a community with high levels of disadvantage, as reflected in the 49.7% of pupils eligible for free school meals. Facilities are extensive and include a swimming pool, theatre, astro turf, and music rooms, with a wide range of clubs from Model UN to Young Enterprise and sports including rowing and martial arts. The school has a comprehensive SEND register, supporting needs from dyslexia and autism to speech and language difficulties. For families in Sheffield looking for a large, inclusive secondary that outperforms the local average on progress and has strong parental endorsement, Hinde House is a compelling option, though the high oversubscription means early application is essential.
