About Monkfield Park Primary School

Monkfield Park Primary School sits comfortably above the local authority average for Cambridgeshire primary schools when it comes to the key stage 2 benchmark. The school recorded 65% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 58%. That seven-point gap is a solid indicator that pupils here are generally performing a notch above their peers across the county. The school's ranking within South Cambridgeshire — 26th out of 55 schools on this metric — places it in the top half of its immediate area, though it's worth noting that the local authority has five primaries rated Outstanding by Ofsted, and Monkfield Park isn't one of them. Still, for a school that sits just inside the top 50% nationally (43.9th percentile), it's delivering results that many parents in the area would find reassuring.
