About Neasden Primary School

Neasden Primary School in Hull has been rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection, with leadership and management judged Outstanding. This marks a significant improvement from the school's previous inspection in 2012, when it was graded Requires Improvement. The most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard: 86% of pupils met this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That places the school fourth out of 69 primary schools in the Kingston upon Hull local authority, comfortably in the top 10% nationally. It also sits well above the local authority average of 65%, underlining the school's strong academic performance relative to its peers. The school's ranking score of 86 puts it just behind top local performers Bricknell Primary, Collingwood Primary and Spring Cottage Primary, which sits only half a kilometre away and holds an Outstanding rating.

Every parent felt their child is safe, and 95% agreed the school has high expectations.
