About St James' Church of England Academy

St James' Church of England Academy was rated Good in its most recent graded inspection in 2018, and a subsequent ungraded visit in September 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. That marks a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2013, when it was judged to require improvement. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 69% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is four percentage points above the local authority average of 65%, placing the school 30th out of 69 primary schools in Kingston upon Hull. In the wider Yorkshire and the Humber region, it sits in the top third of schools nationally. While no pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects, individual subject scores were solid — 79% hit the expected level in maths, 76% in reading and 72% in writing.
