About Chester Park Junior School

Chester Park Junior School sits within the Bristol, City of local authority, where it ranks 66th out of 85 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it in the bottom half of schools locally, well behind the top-performing peers in the area. The three highest-ranked primaries in Bristol are Summerhill Academy, Westbury Park School, and Ss Peter and Paul RC Primary School, all of which achieve significantly higher scores on the same metric. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Frome Vale Academy, about 2.3 kilometres away. Chester Park itself was rated Good in its most recent graded inspection in 2012, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. Its previous inspection in 2010 had rated it Requires Improvement, so the improvement to Good has been sustained over more than a decade. The school is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for pupils aged 7 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
