Hilton Primary Academy
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, NE5 3RN · Newcastle upon Tyne · primary school
3rd of 63 primary schools in Newcastle upon Tyne we can score, 72 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.7/10 against 980 of them, against 8.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 80.0 · 88 | 62% | 5.39 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 18.0 · 89 | 38% | 3.43 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 80.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 18.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Arts Award club, Junior Wardens Eco Club, and the Hilton Choir, with trips to Northumberland Zoo. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 421 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 1. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily transition for children arriving before the official start time, given the lack of a breakfast club? What specific support is provided for the 18.0% of pupils who do not reach the higher standard in core subjects? How does the school ensure that the single spare place does not disrupt the existing class dynamics?
