Hull, HU2 8BQ · Kingston upon Hull, City of · secondary school
3rd 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 the 709 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8/10 among 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 2024/25 | 49.0 · 66 | 10% | 0.66 |

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 63 more students than its physical capacity allows? What specific support is available for pupils who are not on track for the national median in Attainment 8? How does the recent Outstanding inspection influence current teaching strategies?
