Hungerhill School
About Hungerhill School
Ofsted’s Parent View survey, completed by 123 families between September 2024 and September 2025, shows that 63% of respondents would recommend Hungerhill School to other parents. That’s a solid majority, though it leaves more than a third who would not. The school is clearly popular: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 456 applications for 248 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.84, with 273 of those applications listing it as a first preference. 233 first-preference families were offered a place. Parents who responded were particularly positive about clubs and activities — 93% agreed or strongly agreed that their child can take part — and 86% agreed or strongly agreed that the school has high expectations for their child. However, the picture is more mixed on SEND support: of the 25% of respondents with a child on SEND support, 32% strongly disagreed that the school gives them the help they need, and only 23% strongly agreed.
