Admissions
Please read the criteria for Admissions to our school
St Vincent's Voluntary Catholic Academy is part of the St Cuthbert's Roman Catholic Academy Trust and within the Diocese of Middlesbrough.
As a Voluntary Catholic Academy, the Trust we are part of is responsible for admissions. It is guided in that responsibility by the requirements of the law, by advice from the Diocesan Trustees and its duty to the Catholic community and the Common Good.
The school provides a Catholic education for children in the west of Hull, with priority being given to baptised Roman Catholic children living in the Hull parish of St. Vincent de Paul.
The school is of average size, with 200 pupils currently on roll.
The children are between the ages of 4 and 11 years old and are taught in single class year groups from Foundation Stage 2 to Year 6.
The admission number is 30.
