About Lift Newington

Lift Newington is a state primary school in Kingston upon Hull that has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection, a significant step up from its previous Good rating. The school's most informative exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 56 per cent. That figure is below the local authority average of 65 per cent, and it places the school 56th out of 70 primaries in the area. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects: 75 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in writing, and 74 per cent did so in maths, while reading lagged a little at 65 per cent. The school also saw 11 per cent of pupils reach the higher standard across all three subjects. Nationally, Lift Newington ranks in the bottom half of primaries on this combined measure, but the Ofsted judgement suggests inspectors saw strengths that raw scores alone don't capture.
