About Sirius Academy North

Sirius Academy North’s headline Progress 8 score of -1.01 places it well below the local authority average of -0.44 for secondary schools in Kingston upon Hull. This is a significant gap, and the school ranks 12th out of 14 similar schools in the area, putting it in the bottom half locally and in the bottom 5% nationally. The Attainment 8 score of 36.6 is also notably lower than what many Hull families might expect from a typical secondary. On the positive side, the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in December 2024 judged behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management all as Good, which suggests that while academic outcomes are a clear area for improvement, the school’s culture and leadership are on a firmer footing. The previous inspection in 2015 had rated overall effectiveness as Good, so the current Requires Improvement rating for quality of education represents a step back in that specific area.
