About schools in Hackney

The 104 schools listed in Hackney span more than one stage of education. Its 16 secondary schools are where families compare options once a child finishes primary. Another seven schools provide for children with additional needs or alternative provision.

Every school on this page is inspected by Ofsted. Its newer reports judge a school across several areas rather than giving one overall grade, while older reports still carry the previous single grade, so read the framework and the date on each page before you set two schools side by side. Where results have been published you will also find key stage 2 scores for the primary schools and Attainment 8 for the secondary schools. An inspection or a results table captures a school at one past moment, so use this page to draw up a shortlist and then visit.

Common questions about schools in Hackney

How many schools are in Hackney?
OfferDay lists 104 schools in Hackney, including 50 primary schools and 29 independent schools.
Who inspects schools in Hackney?
Every school in Hackney is inspected by Ofsted. Newer reports grade several areas of a school separately on a report card, while older reports carry a single overall grade, so check the framework and the date on each page before you compare two schools.
Which are the best schools in Hackney?
OfferDay ranks an area's schools only where enough of them have published results to compare fairly, and Hackney does not have enough to rank. Compare its schools on their Ofsted reports and, where results are published, the figures shown against each school on this page.
How many towns are in the Hackney local authority?
OfferDay groups the Hackney schools across two towns, listed in the schools-by-town section on this page. Any school with no town recorded in the national register is listed separately, grouped by phase, so every school in the local authority is reachable.

School details come from the Department for Education's Get Information About Schools register. Inspection outcomes come from Ofsted, and exam results from the Department for Education's school performance service. Information on this page was last updated on 24 July 2026.
