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.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

About Hinguar Community Primary School

Hinguar Community Primary School is a primary school in Southend-on-Sea, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 274 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. 76% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 5.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 13% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 17% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). 89% of the families who made Hinguar Community Primary School their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 0.28 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 6.0%. There are about 26.6 pupils per teacher. Hinguar Community 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.
