About St Richard's VC Academy

Parents considering St Richard’s VC Academy will find a school that is genuinely popular with local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 57 applications for 41 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.39, and 42 of those applications were first-preference choices. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation among parents who know the school well. The school is a Roman Catholic primary in Kingston upon Hull, serving children aged 3 to 11, and it has nursery provision on site. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2024 rated the school Good overall, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2020. The inspection team highlighted personal development as Outstanding, with behaviour and attitudes, leadership, and the quality of education all judged Good. With 302 pupils on roll against a capacity of 412, there is some room for growth, but the oversubscription figures show that securing a place is competitive.
