About Kelvin Hall School

Kelvin Hall School’s headline Progress 8 score of -0.4 sits just above the Kingston upon Hull local authority average of -0.44, placing it in the middle of the pack for secondary schools in the area. That’s a modest but meaningful gap — the school is performing slightly better than the typical Hull school, though still below the national average. It ranks 7th out of 14 schools in the LA, putting it right in the 50th percentile locally, and 2454th nationally out of 3141 schools. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 46 and EBacc average point score of 4.22 give a clearer picture: pupils are leaving with reasonable qualifications, but there’s room for improvement in how much progress they make from their starting points, particularly in English and maths, where the Progress 8 sub-scores are -0.66 and -0.55 respectively.
