About Endsleigh Holy Child VC Academy

Endsleigh Holy Child VC Academy is a Roman Catholic primary school in the Kingston upon Hull local authority, serving 311 pupils aged 3 to 11. It sits in the middle of the local rankings, placed 31st out of 69 primary schools in the area, which puts it just above the median. The top-performing peers in the LA include Bricknell Primary School, Collingwood Primary School, and Spring Cottage Primary School, all of which score higher on the ranking metric. The school is oversubscribed, with 66 applications for 40 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and 39 of those 40 offers went to first-preference families. Its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, in 2012, rated the school Good overall, with Good leadership and management. An ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good. This represents a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2011, when it was rated Requires Improvement overall.

Academically, Endsleigh Holy Child performs solidly against local averages. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 68% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths combined, compared with the Kingston upon Hull LA average of 65%. The school’s ranking score of 68, based on the proportion of pupils meeting that combined expected standard, places it in the top 50% nationally and regionally. In individual subjects, 78% met the expected standard in reading, 80% in maths, and 83% in writing. Higher-standard attainment is more modest: 13% achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, with 30% reaching that level in reading and maths, and 15% in writing. Average scaled scores were 105 in both reading and maths. Progress measures are not available in the data, so it is not possible to assess how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points.

The school offers a range of facilities including a library, music rooms, art studios, a chapel, and a Forest School programme. Sports provision includes swimming, athletics, rounders, and cross country, while clubs cover drama, coding, choir, eco club, science club, and film club. SEND support is available for pupils with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, speech, language and communication needs, autistic spectrum disorder, and social, emotional and mental health needs. With nursery provision on site, the school caters for children from age three. Its oversubscription ratio of 1.65 suggests strong local demand, and the fact that nearly all first-preference applicants received offers indicates it is a realistic choice for families who prioritise it. This is a school that suits families looking for a faith-based primary with a broad extracurricular offer and academic results that sit slightly above the local average.
