About Hindlip CofE First School

Hindlip CofE First School received an Outstanding rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in June 2024, a grade it has held consistently across both its recorded inspections. The school achieved the top mark of 1 in every category Ofsted assesses: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This places Hindlip among a select group — only 13 of the 180 primary schools in Worcestershire currently hold an Outstanding rating. The school is small, with 91 pupils on roll against a capacity of 100, and it serves children from age 4 to 9. The headteacher, Alex Gromski, leads a school where 18.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that gives some indication of the catchment’s mix. The school’s Church of England character is reflected in its on-site chapel, one of several facilities that support both academic and personal development.
