Hull, HU8 8UG · Kingston upon Hull, City of · primary school
28th of 70 primary schools in Kingston upon Hull, City of we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.1/10 against 1,389 of them, against 6.6/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join table tennis, dance, chess, EAL, and Lexia clubs, and play football. Trips include visits to the Albermarle Music Centre, Connexin Live, East Park Animal Education Centre, Kingswood, Dearne Valley Activity Centre, London museums, theatres, and The Big Malarkey Festival. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 245 pupils against a capacity of 350, leaving 105 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils in the Lexia Club to improve their reading? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How do teachers manage class sizes given the current spare capacity?
