About Hillcrest Primary School
Hillcrest Primary School is a primary school in Bristol, City of, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 410 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 55% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the national average of 61%. Results have held broadly steady on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.
Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 12% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Competition for places is real here - 76% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (76 first choices for 60 places). Overall pupil absence was 5.0%. There are about 21.6 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 8% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Hillcrest 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. 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.
