Kingston Park Academy
About Kingston Park Academy
Kingston Park Academy, a state primary in Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires improvement judgement. The school’s most recent graded inspection in 2016 rated overall effectiveness and leadership and management as Good, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2021 confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, where 62% of pupils met the benchmark in 2023/24. This figure sits just above the Nottinghamshire local authority average of 61%, placing the school 14th out of 44 primary schools in Bassetlaw. While this places it in the bottom half nationally, it is a solid, middle-of-the-road performance within its immediate area.
