Windmill Hill Primary School has been serving the Windmill Hill area of Runcorn since it was built in 1978. In the early years it was very much a local community school serving just residents from the local Windmill Hill estate, today however, we have children from all over the new town area of Runcorn.
This is due to the excellent reputation our school has earned over the years, specifically since our first Outstanding Ofsted report in 2006. We have maintained an exceptionally high standard of education since then, receiving another Outstanding Ofsted report again in our latest inspection in 2013.
Our consecutive Outstanding Ofsted reports are testament to the hard work and devotion that everyone associated with the school has towards the children. One of our main focuses at Windmill Hill is each pupils enjoyment of school, we strive to provide children with a safe and friendly environment where learning is fun.
