About Hunningley Primary Academy

Hunningley Primary Academy received an Outstanding rating from Ofsted in its most recent inspection in 2023, a significant upgrade from its previous Good rating in 2014. The inspection judged every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — as Outstanding. This places the school among just three primary schools in Barnsley to hold the top grade. The school’s academic strength is most clearly seen in its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year, where 84% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure is well above the Barnsley local authority average of 63%. It also ranks Hunningley 3rd out of 70 primary schools in the area, putting it in the top 5% locally and in the top 7% nationally. The school’s average reading and maths scores of 107 and 108 respectively are both above the national benchmark of 100.
