About Huntington Primary Academy

Huntington Primary Academy is a primary school in York, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 362 pupils aged 5 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Requires improvement' judgement from Ofsted (December 2025). In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 60% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 11.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 3% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Huntington Primary Academy was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 34 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 5.0%. There are about 20.5 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 11% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally.
