About Collingwood Primary School

Collingwood Primary School in Hull is significantly oversubscribed, a clear signal of its standing among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 84 applications for just 45 places, with 46 of those applicants listing it as their first preference. The school currently houses 355 pupils against a stated capacity of 315, meaning it is running well above its official limit. This demand is set against a backdrop of high deprivation: 41.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that is notably higher than the national average and reflects the local context of Kingston upon Hull. The school is a mixed, non-denominational state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision available, and is led by headteacher Laura Baxter.
