Maybury Primary School

About Maybury Primary School

Maybury Primary School sits comfortably above the local authority average for Kingston upon Hull when it comes to Key Stage 2 outcomes. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 65%, but Maybury’s figure is 77% — a clear 12 percentage points higher. That performance places the school 14th out of 69 primary schools in the authority, putting it in the top 25% locally. It also ranks within the top 15% of primaries across Yorkshire and the Humber, and in the top 17% nationally. For a school where nearly half of pupils (48.1%) are eligible for free school meals, these results are particularly striking. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in February 2025, judged that it had improved significantly since its last graded inspection, and it retains a Good overall effectiveness rating. Its early years provision was rated Outstanding in that same graded inspection back in 2015.

Looking more closely at the 2023/24 exam data, Maybury’s pupils performed strongly across individual subjects. In reading, 87% met the expected standard and 16% reached the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 105. Maths saw the same proportion at expected and higher levels, also with an average score of 105. In writing, 81% met the expected standard and 13% achieved greater depth. The school’s overall ranking score of 77 reflects this solid performance. The Ofsted breakdown shows that leadership and management, as well as behaviour and attitudes, were both rated Good in the last graded inspection. Parents are overwhelmingly positive: 94% would recommend the school, and in the Parent View survey, 88% agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, while 94% felt their child is safe. However, the survey also flagged some concerns — 19% of parents disagreed that the school makes them aware of what their child will learn, and a similar proportion felt concerns aren’t dealt with properly.

Maybury is a three-to-eleven primary with a nursery provision and a current roll of 226 pupils, which exceeds its official capacity of 210. It was oversubscribed for 2025/26 reception places, with 59 applications for 27 spots and 25 first-preference offers made. The school offers a range of facilities including a sensory room, library, music rooms, ICT suite and a chapel. Sports on offer include football, tennis, gymnastics, cross country, rounders, cricket and swimming, while clubs cover coding, choir and drama. SEND provision is broad, covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, speech and language needs, hearing impairment, physical disability, autistic spectrum disorder and social, emotional and mental health support. The nearest Outstanding-rated primary is Spring Cottage, 1.9 km away. For families who value strong academic outcomes in a context of high disadvantage, and who want a school that has shown clear improvement, Maybury is a compelling option — though it’s worth noting the mixed parent feedback on communication and concern-handling.
