Kingswood Parks Primary School

About Kingswood Parks Primary School

Kingswood Parks Primary School sits in the Kingston upon Hull, City of local authority, where it ranks 3rd out of 69 primary schools on the key measure of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. That places it in the top five per cent of primaries locally and puts it in strong company alongside its top peers: Bricknell Primary School, Collingwood Primary School and Parkstone Primary School. The school is led by headteacher Nicola Loten and is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 3 to 11. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in March 2025, found that the school had improved significantly since its previous graded inspection. The overall effectiveness is now rated Good, with behaviour and attitudes judged Outstanding. The school is noticeably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, 186 families applied for 90 places, with 85 putting it as their first preference and 80 of those receiving offers.

Academically, Kingswood Parks performs well above the local average. In the 2023/24 KS2 results, 86 per cent of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with a local authority average of 65 per cent. The school’s average scaled scores in reading and maths were both 107, and a higher proportion of pupils achieved the higher standard in reading (38 per cent), maths (36 per cent) and writing (34 per cent). The school’s Ofsted breakdown shows Good ratings across quality of education, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision, with behaviour and attitudes the standout Outstanding grade. Parent feedback from the 2024/25 period is largely positive: 92 per cent of the 77 respondents would recommend the school, and 95 per cent strongly agreed or agreed that their child is happy there. However, the SEND support question drew a more mixed response, with 23 per cent of parents disagreeing that children with special educational needs get the support they need.

The school offers a range of facilities including an ICT suite, art studios, a library, a sensory room and an outdoor playground. Sports provision covers netball, cricket, football, rounders, tennis, swimming and cross country, while clubs include gardening, drama and science club. Nursery provision is available for children from age 3. The school’s SEND provisions are broad, covering specific learning difficulties, speech and language needs, visual impairment, physical disability, social and emotional mental health needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. With 681 pupils on roll against a capacity of 630, the school is operating above its official capacity and is clearly popular with local families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is low at 5.1 per cent. Kingswood Parks will suit families who prioritise strong academic outcomes, good behaviour and a school that is well regarded within the local community, though those with SEND children may want to explore the school’s support arrangements in more detail.
