About King's Academy College Park (Junior)

King's Academy College Park (Junior) sits in a challenging position within Portsmouth's primary landscape. Its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year show that 38% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is notably below the local authority average of 53%. This places the school 28th out of 45 primary schools in Portsmouth, putting it in the bottom half of the league table. The school's ranking score of 38 confirms it falls within the bottom 50 nationally. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading scores are a relative strength, with 68% of pupils reaching the expected standard and an average scaled score of 102, while 21% achieved the higher standard. Maths tells a different story, with only 54% hitting the expected level and just 10% reaching the higher standard. Writing sits in between, with 47% meeting expectations. No pupils achieved the higher standard in either writing or the combined reading, writing and maths measure.
