Ages 4–9

Key Stage 2 performance

Hindlip CofE First School is a first school for pupils aged 4–9. Pupils move on to a separate junior or middle school before Year 6, so the school does not enter pupils for the Key Stage 2 SATs and has no KS2 results to publish.

This applies to every first school in England — it does not mean data is missing. Ofsted judgements and school information are shown below.

Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2026 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.

About Hindlip CofE First School

Hindlip CofE First School is a primary school in Worcestershire, classified by the DfE as a voluntary controlled school with a Church of England religious character. Around 91 pupils aged 4 to 9 attend the school. The school holds an 'Outstanding' judgement from Ofsted.

Competition for places is real here - 61% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (31 first choices for 19 places). The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 2.05 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 2.6%. There are about 13.4 pupils per teacher. When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
