Hillcross Primary School

School overview

Hillcross Primary School is a primary school serving Morden, Merton, classified by the DfE as a community school. It has 448 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. 68% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 10.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 38% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 9% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Hillcross Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 59 Reception places. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 1.31 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 4.2%. There are about 26.6 pupils per teacher. Hillcross Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
