About St Vincent's Voluntary Catholic Academy

St Vincent's Voluntary Catholic Academy is a state primary school in Kingston upon Hull that is currently running very close to its full capacity, with 231 pupils against a school capacity of 235. The school serves a diverse intake, with 18.2% of pupils eligible for free school meals, a figure that sits above the national average for primary schools but reflects the local context of the area. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 62 applications for just 30 places, with all 30 first-preference applicants being offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.07. This suggests a school that is popular with local families, particularly those seeking a Roman Catholic education, as the school is a voluntary Catholic academy. The school also offers nursery provision for younger children, which may feed into the main school intake.
