St Anthony's Voluntary Catholic Academy
About St Anthony's Voluntary Catholic Academy
St Anthony's Voluntary Catholic Academy was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2016, a rating that was confirmed as unchanged in an ungraded inspection in 2022. That represents a significant improvement from its previous inspection in 2014, when the school was judged to require improvement across both overall effectiveness and leadership and management. The most telling academic metric for this 229-pupil primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2: just 26% did so in the 2023/24 results, compared with a local authority average of 65%. That places St Anthony's at the very bottom of the 69 primary schools in Kingston upon Hull on this measure, and in the bottom 2% nationally. Individual subject scores tell a similar story: 45% met the expected standard in reading and in maths, while 55% did so in writing. Only 3% reached the higher standard in maths, and none did in reading.
