We are so proud of our students and all of the staff who worked tirelessly to achieve these stunning results!

Theresa Phillips, Headteacher at Hillcrest school said:
We are thrilled with the outstanding results achieved by students at Hillcrest school. This remarkable improvement is due to the collective efforts of the school leadership, the staff and the pupils. New leadership provided a clear focus on raising standards and created a culture of belief in the students. The staff’s positive response shown through their superb commitment enabled the students to do so well.

welcome to Hillcrest

Welcome to Hillcrest School home page.

We are proud to inform you that Ofsted visited the school mid November and found that Hillcrest is rapidly improving and that special measures are no longer required. It has only taken one year to transform Hillcrest from inadequate to a school which has many good qualities.

The Ofsted Inspectors found that:

  • Strong leadership from the Headteacher and the executive leader has dramatically raised the school’s expectations of itself.
  • Working as part of the Federation has been of considerable benefit to the school.
  • The staff have ambitions for further improvement and work with energy in pursuit of excellence in teaching.
