Sutton Park Primary School
About Sutton Park Primary School
Sutton Park Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in Kingston upon Hull, currently home to 314 pupils against a capacity of 350, meaning it is not yet full but clearly in demand. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 59 applications for just 24 places, with all 24 first-preference applicants receiving an offer — an oversubscription ratio of 2.46. This suggests strong local appeal, particularly given that 22.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average of around 23% but sits within the typical range for Hull. The school serves children from age 3, with nursery provision available, and is led by headteacher Elizabeth Lee. Its religious character is listed as 'Does not apply', making it a straightforward option for families of any or no faith background. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in June 2024, confirmed it 'remains Good', with leadership and management judged Outstanding — a notable strength that may reassure parents looking for strong governance.
