About Bricknell Primary School

Bricknell Primary School sits at the very top of the primary school rankings in Kingston upon Hull, City of, coming first out of 69 schools in the local authority. Its nearest Outstanding-rated neighbour is Thoresby Primary School, 1.3 kilometres away, but Bricknell itself holds the highest ranking score in the area. The school is one of only 12 primary schools in Hull to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, a distinction that places it in a small minority within the LA. Its closest competitors in the rankings are Collingwood Primary School, Spring Cottage Primary School, and Kingswood Parks Primary School, all of which score highly but sit below Bricknell. With 657 pupils on roll, the school is effectively at full capacity, and it was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year, receiving 170 applications for 85 places, with 83 of those coming as first preferences. That level of demand reflects its strong local reputation.
