About Hinckley Parks Primary School

Hinckley Parks Primary School stands out against the Leicestershire local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 62%, Hinckley Parks achieves 72% — a clear ten percentage points above the norm. This places the school 51st out of 231 primary schools in the county, comfortably in the top quarter. The school also outperforms on individual subjects: 80% of pupils meet expected standards in both reading and writing, and 79% in maths, compared with the LA average of 62% across the combined measure. Higher-standard attainment is more modest, with 8% reaching the higher benchmark across all three subjects, though 28% achieve higher in maths and 25% in reading. These figures suggest a school that reliably delivers solid, above-average academic foundations for its pupils.
