Every child who put Griffin Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

About Griffin Primary School

Griffin Primary School is a primary school in Kingston upon Hull, City of, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. Around 436 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted (February 2026). 60% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 7.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 5% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Griffin Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 43 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 6.3%. There are about 27.6 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 49% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
