About Pearson Primary School

Pearson Primary School sits within the Kingston upon Hull, City of local authority, where it ranks 24th out of 69 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it comfortably in the top half of Hull primaries, though a little behind the three highest-scoring peers in the area: Bricknell Primary School, Collingwood Primary School and Spring Cottage Primary School. The school is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged 3 to 11, with no religious character and a nursery on site. Headteacher Louise Clarkson leads a school that is noticeably oversubscribed — for the 2025/26 intake, 71 families applied for 22 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.23. Of those, 21 were first-preference offers, suggesting strong local demand. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2022, rated it Good overall, with Outstanding marks for early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes.
