About Hemlington Hall Academy

Hemlington Hall Academy is a primary school in Middlesbrough, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. Around 281 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 57% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with 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 in the top 33% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 17% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Competition for places is real here - 83% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (35 first choices for 29 places). Overall pupil absence was 6.8%. There are about 16.0 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 47% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child.
