Schools in Hull: FAQ

How many schools are there in Hull?

There are 150 registered schools in Hull on the latest Ofsted/GIAS data — 128 primary, 22 secondary, and the remainder all-through, special, or 16+ providers. Of these, 59% are rated Good or Outstanding.

What is the best-rated school in Hull?

11 schools are rated Outstanding by Ofsted in Hull, and 77 more are rated Good. Outstanding schools are often oversubscribed, so proximity (your postcode's distance to the school) usually determines whether you can get a place.

How do I check school catchment for a Hull postcode?

Catchment depends on the exact address. Enter any Hull postcode into PostcodeCheck and the area report lists every school near that postcode, its Ofsted rating, type, and distance — the data admissions teams use to decide places.

Does living near a good school in Hull affect house prices?

Yes. Homes inside the effective catchment of an Outstanding or Good school typically command a 5-15% premium. The effect is strongest for primary schools, where catchment areas are smaller and admissions are tightly distance-based.
