About schools in Kingston upon Hull
- How many schools are there in Kingston upon Hull?
- Kingston upon Hull has 101 open schools — 70 primary, 13 secondary, 9 special, teaching 43,386 pupils in total.
- How many schools in Kingston upon Hull are rated Good or Outstanding?
- 77 of the 82 schools holding an Ofsted grade — 94% — are rated Good or Outstanding, including 16 rated Outstanding. That share is measured against graded schools, not all 101: a school inspected since September 2024 has no overall grade at all.
- What is the average Academic Performance in Kingston upon Hull?
- 5.6 out of 10, averaged across the 94 schools here that can be scored, where 5 is the national average. Academic Performance combines the Ofsted judgement with DfE attainment and is ranked against comparable schools, so it is neither figure on its own.
- Why do some Kingston upon Hull schools have no Ofsted rating?
- 19 schools in Kingston upon Hull currently hold no overall grade. Ofsted stopped awarding single-word judgements in September 2024 and moved to a report card of separately graded areas, so schools inspected since then have no overall rating whatever the inspection found. Their profiles show the report card instead.
- What does Kingston upon Hull local authority do?
- A local authority is the body responsible for state education in its area — the level most admissions and school-place decisions are made at. Kingston upon Hull covers 101 schools and sits in the Yorkshire and The Humber region. It does not run academies or independent schools directly, though it still coordinates admissions for most of them.
- How many pupils in Kingston upon Hull are eligible for free school meals?
- 35.9% — 15,186 of 42,352 pupils at the 95 schools that report it. Independent schools file a return with roll and sex only, so they are outside this figure rather than counted as zero.
