About St Charles Voluntary Catholic Academy

St Charles Voluntary Catholic Academy is a primary school in Hull that serves a notably diverse intake. With 196 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, it is not quite full, yet the school is oversubscribed for Reception places in 2025/26: 19 applications were received for 16 places, with 14 of those being first-preference choices. This suggests a solid local reputation. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 31.6%, well above the national average of around 23% and significantly higher than the local authority average of roughly 28% for primary schools. This indicates the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. The school is Roman Catholic in character, though the data does not specify how many pupils are from Catholic families. It also offers nursery provision, meaning children can join from age three.
