St Hilda's Church of England Primary School
About St Hilda's Church of England Primary School
St Hilda's Church of England Primary School in Bury posts a Key Stage 2 combined expected standard score of 72 per cent, which sits eight points above the local authority average of 64 per cent for primary schools. That places it 11th out of 64 primaries in the borough, comfortably in the top 20 per cent of its peers. The school also ranks 12th in Bury on the same metric when looking at all 46 schools in the LA, and sits in the top 27 per cent nationally. This is a solid, above-average performer that consistently outpaces its local neighbours, though it falls short of the very top tier — the three highest-ranked primaries in Bury all score 85 or above. For families looking for a school that reliably exceeds the LA norm without being among the most selective or oversubscribed, St Hilda's offers a strong middle-ground option.
