About Thorpepark Academy

Thorpepark Academy in Hull holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The school's most recent ungraded inspection in June 2025 confirmed that standards are being maintained, and the breakdown shows particular strength in personal development, which was rated Outstanding. For a more precise academic picture, the key metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2. At 73%, this comfortably exceeds the local authority average of 65% for primary schools in Kingston upon Hull. That performance places Thorpepark 22nd out of 69 primary schools in the area, putting it in the top third locally and in the top quarter nationally. The school also ranks within the top 25% of all primary schools in Yorkshire and the Humber.
