About Glen Park Primary School

Glen Park Primary School in Plymouth received the highest possible rating of Outstanding in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a significant step up from its previous Good rating in 2012. The inspection judged every single category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — as Outstanding. But the real story is in the school’s academic results. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 81% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is well above the Plymouth local authority average of 63%, and it places Glen Park 4th out of 65 primary schools in the city. Nationally, the school sits in the top 10% of all primary schools for this combined measure, a strong indicator that children here are making excellent progress through the core subjects.
