About Bishop Parker Catholic School

Bishop Parker Catholic School’s Key Stage 2 results place it well ahead of the Milton Keynes local authority average for primary schools. The school achieved an 80% expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a LA average of 62%. That 18-point gap is significant and puts the school in the top 25% nationally. Its reading and maths average scaled scores of 109 and 107 respectively are both above the national benchmark of 100, and the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in reading (53%) and maths (43%) is notably strong. The school ranks 5th out of 54 primary schools in Milton Keynes on this combined measure, placing it in the top 10% locally. With 25.3% of pupils eligible for free school meals, these results are particularly impressive and suggest the school is delivering strong academic progress across its intake.
