About Giffard Park Primary School

Giffard Park Primary School sits in the middle of the pack in Milton Keynes, ranking 28th out of 54 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. Its score of 61 is almost exactly in line with the local authority average of 62, placing it in the bottom half of schools nationally but right on the borough’s typical benchmark. That said, the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2025 judged it Good overall, with leadership and management, early years provision, and the quality of education all rated Good. This marks a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2016, when the school was rated Requires Improvement. The ungraded inspection confirmed that standards have been maintained, so parents can see a school that has stabilised and is now performing consistently.
