4th of 13 secondary 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 — 8.6/10 against 355 of them, against 6.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 47.6 · 58 | 15% | 0.90 |

What Ofsted said about Hull Trinity House Academy
Overview
Hull Trinity House Academy is described as a unique school where pupils feel a strong sense of belonging and pride in its maritime heritage. The report highlights a "calm and purposeful learning environment" supported by high expectations, resulting in good outcomes for behaviour, personal development, and the quality of education.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "well-sequenced," helping pupils build skills over time and connect prior learning to new topics.
- Teachers "accurately check pupils’ understanding," ensuring misconceptions are quickly identified and corrected.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive effective "personalised support" and adapt tasks to access learning.
- Early reading difficulties are "swiftly identified" with targeted strategies, fostering a "genuine enjoyment of reading."
- Unique opportunities, such as gaining sailboat and powerboat pilot licences, help develop pupils' aspirations and leadership skills.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, particularly key stage 3, pupils lack opportunities to "connect, extend and deepen their learning," limiting their confidence in applying knowledge.
- Revised behaviour policies have not fully embedded, meaning a small number of pupils still experience high suspension rates and miss valuable learning.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
