About Stepney Primary School

Stepney Primary School is a mixed state primary for ages 3 to 11 in Kingston upon Hull, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school currently has 232 pupils on roll, which is slightly above its official capacity of 220, suggesting that classes are full and the school is making use of every available space. The demand is confirmed by the admission data for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 74 applications for just 30 places, with 31 of those applications listing Stepney as a first preference. That works out at roughly 2.5 applications per place, a clear signal of oversubscription. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 37.9%, which is notably high compared with the national average for primary schools, and reflects the local demographic context of the area. The headteacher is Jo Atkinson, and the school has no religious character.
