Hogarth Academy
About Hogarth Academy
Hogarth Academy is a state primary in Nottingham that currently educates 214 pupils against a capacity of 262, meaning it has room to grow but is clearly in demand. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 56 applications for just 28 places, with 27 of those coming as first preferences — a ratio of two applicants per place. This oversubscription suggests a strong local reputation, particularly given that 29.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average of around 23%. The school serves a diverse intake, and its size is modest compared to many primaries in the city. It is a mixed, non-religious school with nursery provision from age three, and is led by headteacher David Jobling. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in May 2024, confirmed it remains Good, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2012. Leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness were all rated Good.
