About Wold Academy

Wold Academy is a mixed state primary in Kingston upon Hull, currently educating 399 pupils against a capacity of 570, meaning there is room for growth. The school serves a community with a higher-than-average level of disadvantage: 24.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 23%. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 77 applications for 44 places, with 43 of those being first-preference offers, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.75. This suggests that while the school is popular, it is not yet among the most oversubscribed in the area. The school offers nursery provision for children aged 2 and above, and its facilities include music rooms, art studios, a gymnasium, an outdoor playground, and a chapel. Sports on offer include cricket, swimming, football, cross country, dance, and tennis, while clubs range from drama and choir to gardening and eco club.
