Sir Edmund Hillary Academy

About Sir Edmund Hillary Academy

Sir Edmund Hillary Academy sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 61, but the school itself has not published its own KS2 results in the data provided, making a direct comparison impossible. What is clear from the available metrics is that the school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 60 applications for 30 places, with all 30 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That two-to-one oversubscription ratio suggests strong local demand, even though the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021 rated it Requires Improvement overall. The picture is more nuanced than that single label suggests, however, because several individual categories were graded Good: early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management all scored 2 on the Ofsted scale. Only the quality of education was judged Requires Improvement, which is the area most likely driving the overall rating.
