History
It opened as Kelvin Hall, Bricknell High School in 1959, and was a technical school. Kelvin Hall was operated separately to Wyke Hall, Bricknell High School which was located on the same campus and was a secondary modern school. Kelvin Hall later took over the whole campus and became a comprehensive school. The school relocated to new buildings on the same site in 2012.[2]
Previously a foundation school administered by Hull City Council and the West Hull Co-operative Learning Trust,[3] in November 2016 Kelvin Hall School converted to academy status and is now sponsored by the Thrive Trust.
