About Appleton Primary School

Appleton Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 58 applications for just 16 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 3.63. All 16 first-preference applicants received offers, which suggests that for those who list it as their top choice, the school is a realistic option. ParentView data is not available in the school’s records, but the high demand alone signals strong local confidence. Headteacher Mary Langton leads a mixed, state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery provision on site. The school has capacity for 320 pupils but currently enrols 224, meaning there is room to grow. Around 34% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average and reflects the school’s inclusive intake. The school does not have a religious character, so it draws families from a broad cross-section of the community in Kingston upon Hull.
