About Hungerford Primary Academy

Hungerford Primary Academy in Cheshire East received a Good rating across all areas in its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2025, a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2023 when it was rated Requires Improvement overall. The school's most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined expected standard in reading, writing and maths, where 52% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. This is below the local authority average of 64%, placing the school 87th out of 123 primary schools in Cheshire East and in the bottom 50 nationally for this measure. However, the school's average scaled scores tell a slightly stronger story: 103 in reading and 102 in maths, both above the national baseline of 100. The proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in reading was 16%, with 15% in maths and 10% in writing, and 7% achieved the higher standard across all three subjects combined.
