About St Nicholas Primary School

St Nicholas Primary School in Kingston upon Hull is a clear standout when you look at its Key Stage 2 results against the local authority average. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 65%, St Nicholas achieves 79% — a full 14 percentage points higher. That places it 10th out of 69 primary schools in the authority, comfortably inside the top 25% nationally. The school’s average scaled scores are also strong: 108 in reading and 107 in maths, both above the national benchmark of 100. At the higher standard, 11% of pupils hit the top marks across all three subjects, with 32% reaching that level in reading and maths individually. For a relatively small school of 208 pupils, these are punchy results that suggest consistent, effective teaching across the board.
