About Histon and Impington Park Primary School

Histon and Impington Park Primary School stands out sharply against the Cambridgeshire local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 sits at 58 per cent, this school’s most recent Ofsted inspection awarded it the highest possible rating of Outstanding across every single category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That puts it in a very select group: only five out of 210 primary schools in the county currently hold an Outstanding rating. The school is also the nearest Outstanding option to its sibling school, Histon and Impington Brook Primary School, which sits just half a kilometre away. For parents comparing local options, this is a school that has clearly moved beyond the county average and into the top tier of provision.
