Check the area around this school
7th 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 — 6.1/10 against 279 of them, against 3.6/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 51.1 · 65 | 46% | 3.00 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -1.01 · 2 | 38% | 0.10 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 43.1 · 34 | 15% | 0.53 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Sirius Academy North
Overview
The report states that the quality of education ‘Requires improvement’, while behaviour, personal development, and leadership are judged ‘Good’. Inspectors note that recent improvements in attendance and behaviour have created a ‘calm and orderly environment’, though the curriculum has historically contributed ‘weakly’ to pupil progress. Leaders are actively addressing these issues, with pupils ‘starting to know and remember more’ in some subjects, but significant gaps remain for older pupils.
Strengths
- Staff ‘successfully promote pupils’ personal development’ through a ‘well-considered’ programme and ‘vibrant’ extra-curricular activities.
- Behaviour has improved significantly, with ‘disruption to lessons’ becoming less frequent and suspensions reduced.
- Attendance is increasing, with a ‘significant reduction’ in persistent absenteeism.
- The school is ‘highly inclusive’, swiftly identifying needs and providing ‘expertly’ delivered support for reading and SEND pupils.
- Most staff feel ‘happy and well supported’, appreciating how leaders consider their workload.
Areas to improve
- The school must ‘address the root cause of underperformance’ and ensure improvement plans tackle weaknesses in underperforming subjects.
- Teachers need support to ‘consistently choose the most appropriate activities’ to help pupils ‘know and remember more’ of the curriculum.
Safeguarding
The report states that ‘the arrangements for safeguarding are effective’.
