About New Park Primary Academy

New Park Primary Academy in North Yorkshire holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections, including an ungraded visit in February 2024 that confirmed the school 'remains Good'. The most telling exam metric for this 3-11 mixed state primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 52%. That figure is below the North Yorkshire local authority average of 60%, placing the school in the bottom half of primary schools within the county, ranked 154th out of 223. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects: 73% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, and the average reading score of 102 is a solid result. Maths tells a different story, with only 55% reaching the expected level and an average scaled score of 99, which suggests this is an area the school may be prioritising.
