About Badger Hill Primary Academy

In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 73% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 12.0 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 top 36% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Badger Hill Primary Academy was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 14 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 5.3%. There are about 32.3 pupils per teacher. Badger Hill Primary Academy 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.
