About King's Academy College Park (Infant)

King's Academy College Park (Infant) was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a change from its previous Outstanding rating in 2011. The inspection gave Good marks across the board, including for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. For an infant school that only covers Reception to Year 2, the most telling academic metric is the Early Years Foundation Stage profile, and here the school's early years provision was also rated Good. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 results because its pupils move on at age seven, its Good Ofsted rating places it in the majority of Portsmouth primary schools — the local authority has no Outstanding primaries among its 45 state schools, so Good is the top available grade in the area.
