Ofsted: Good · 2025 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary
7.7/10 Above average

12th 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 — 9.7/10 against 2,023 of them, against 9.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
