About Nene Park Academy

Nene Park Academy is a Good school, according to its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, and the academic data backs that up. The single most telling metric is its Progress 8 score of 0.14, which means pupils here achieve nearly a fifth of a grade more per subject than the national average for students with similar starting points. That score places the school fifth out of twelve secondary schools in Peterborough, comfortably above the local authority average of 0.03. It is a significant improvement from the school's previous Ofsted rating of Requires Improvement in 2011, and the 2023 ungraded inspection confirmed it remains Good. With 1,476 pupils on a capacity of 1,100, the school is clearly popular, and its oversubscription ratio of 1.8 for Year 7 entry in 2025/26 tells you local families are voting with their feet.
