About Alderman Cogan's Church of England Primary Academy

Alderman Cogan's Church of England Primary Academy sits well above the local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure. In the 2023/24 academic year, 75% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Kingston upon Hull average of 65% for primary schools. That ten-point gap places the school 19th out of 70 primaries in the area, comfortably inside the top 25% nationally. The school's ranking score of 75 reflects consistent performance across the three subjects, though the picture is more mixed when you look at the higher standard: only 7% of pupils achieved that top tier in all three disciplines, which is below the national average. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, in May 2023, rated it Good overall, with leadership, behaviour, personal development and quality of education all judged Good. The early years provision, however, was rated Requires improvement, a notable weak spot that parents of younger children will want to investigate.
