About King's Northway Primary Academy
If you are researching King's Northway Primary Academy, the parent experience signals are worth noting carefully. The school does not publish a parent recommend percentage in the available data, which means you will need to rely on other indicators. One of the most telling is the oversubscription picture: with a school capacity of 450, the fact that no oversubscription ratio is recorded suggests the school is not currently a first-choice destination for most local families. This is consistent with its most recent Ofsted inspection in December 2022, where the overall effectiveness was rated Requires Improvement. The previous inspection in 2013 had rated the school Good, so the drop is significant. Parents considering this school will want to understand what has changed and whether the current leadership, under headteacher Matthew Hargreaves, is addressing the issues flagged by inspectors.
