About Lift Hall Road

Lift Hall Road is a popular primary school in Hull, and the numbers tell a clear story. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 54 applications for just 28 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.93. Of those 54 applications, 26 were first-preference choices, and 26 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put it top of their list secured a spot. While we don't have a direct parent recommendation percentage, the level of demand suggests a strong local reputation. The school is led by headteacher Luke Pinder and currently has 292 pupils on roll, against a capacity of 350, so there is some room to grow. It is a mixed, non-religious state primary for ages 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2024, the school was rated Good across every category, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision, a consistent improvement from its previous Good rating in 2014.
