Lift Hockley
About Lift Hockley
Lift Hockley’s headline metrics put it well ahead of the Essex primary average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 85% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 62%. That 23-point gap is significant and places the school third out of 19 primaries in the Rochford district, and in the top 5% nationally. The school also outperforms on higher-standard attainment: 17% of pupils achieved the higher benchmark in all three subjects, while 53% hit the higher standard in reading alone. These figures suggest a consistent pattern of strong academic performance across the board, not just in one area.
