About Hinguar Community Primary School

Hinguar Community Primary School in Southend-on-Sea is a mixed state primary for children aged 2 to 11, and it’s clearly a popular choice among local families. The school currently has 274 pupils on roll, which is 18 over its official capacity of 256, and the demand is reflected in its oversubscribed status for the 2025/26 intake. With 110 applications for just 29 places, the oversubscription ratio sits at 3. 79, and of the 38 families who put it as their first preference, 28 received an offer. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 15. 7%, which is worth noting against the national average for primary schools, though the data doesn’t give a direct local comparator. Headteacher Emma Goy leads a school that has clearly built a strong reputation, and the numbers suggest it’s a school that many parents in the area are keen to secure a place at.
