About Newark Hill Academy

Newark Hill Academy, a state primary in Peterborough, holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2023, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recent inspections. The school’s key academic metric is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths combined at the expected standard, where 58% of pupils achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. This places the school just one percentage point below the Peterborough local authority average of 59%, meaning it performs broadly in line with other primary schools in the area. Nationally, the school ranks in the bottom half of all primaries on this measure, sitting at the 60th percentile. In terms of higher attainment — reaching a higher standard across all three subjects — only 7% of pupils managed this, which is a relatively low figure. The school’s average scores in reading and maths both sit at 103, exactly in line with the national average for these tests.
