About Eastfield Primary School

Eastfield Primary School sits within the Kingston upon Hull, City of local authority, where it ranks 15th out of 69 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the top quarter of schools locally. The top-performing peers in the area are Bricknell Primary School, Collingwood Primary School, and Spring Cottage Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. Eastfield is one of just 12 schools in the authority to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, and its most recent inspection in March 2025 confirmed that rating across every category judged, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. The school has held an Outstanding grade since at least its previous inspection in 2015, when leadership and management were also rated grade 1. For parents weighing up options in Hull, Eastfield stands out as a consistently high-performing state primary with a strong local reputation.

Academically, Eastfield’s key stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year show solid performance above the local authority average. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths combined was 76%, compared with a Hull average of 65%. In maths, 90% of pupils met the expected standard, with an average scaled score of 107, while 28% achieved the higher standard. Reading saw 82% at expected and an average score of 106, with 31% reaching the higher threshold. Writing was similarly strong, with 82% at expected and 32% at the higher level. The school’s national ranking places it in the top 18% of all primary schools in England for the combined expected standard metric, and within Yorkshire and the Humber it sits in the top 15%. These figures suggest a school that consistently delivers above-average outcomes, particularly in maths, where the gap between Eastfield and the local norm is most pronounced.
