About St Mary Queen of Martyrs VC Academy

St Mary Queen of Martyrs VC Academy is a Roman Catholic primary school in Hull that is currently educating more pupils than its official capacity suggests — 337 children on roll against a capacity of 280. This oversubscription is backed up by the most recent admissions data for the 2025/26 intake, where the school received 59 applications for just 36 places, with all 36 first-preference offers accepted. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 29.1%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools and reflects the school's role in serving a diverse local community. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age two, meaning families can start their child's education here early. With a religious character as a Roman Catholic voluntary controlled academy, the school draws families who value a faith-based setting, though the oversubscription ratio of 1.64 suggests demand extends well beyond that specific group.
