About Buckingham Primary Academy

Buckingham Primary Academy has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2019, and an ungraded visit in January 2025 confirmed that standards have been maintained. This is a significant improvement from its previous overall rating of Requires Improvement in 2017, with the school now scoring Good across every category including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership. The most telling exam metric for this 3-11 primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 62%. That is just below the local authority average of 65% for Kingston upon Hull, and places the school 42nd out of 69 primaries in the area, in the bottom half nationally. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects: 81% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and average maths scores reached 106, suggesting the school has a particular strength in numeracy.
