School Atlas lists 50 state primary schools, 16 state secondary schools, 3 special schools and 2 alternative provision schools in Hackney. It also lists 31 independent schools and 123 nurseries and other early-years settings.
Of the state primary, secondary and all-through schools, 18 have a religious character: 7 Church of England, 5 Roman Catholic, 4 Jewish, 1 Muslim and 1 Orthodox Jewish.
Of the 66 state primary, secondary and all-through schools in Hackney, 50 hold an Ofsted overall-effectiveness grade from their last graded inspection: 20 Outstanding and 30 Good.
Ofsted stopped giving state schools a single overall grade in September 2024. Since November 2025 its report cards grade each area separately; 6 of these schools have had one.
Hackney doesn't publish catchment boundaries, so there’s no boundary map to check. Distance usually decides a place.
We also hold last-distance-offered records for 38 schools. That distance is not always a cut-off: at a school with places to spare it is simply the furthest applicant.
