Ossett South Parade Primary
About Ossett South Parade Primary
Ossett South Parade Primary sits right in the middle of the pack when you compare its headline Key Stage 2 results against the Wakefield local authority average. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 61%, just three percentage points below the LA average of 64%. That places it 56th out of 97 primary schools in the area, a solidly mid-table position. Digging into the individual subjects, the picture is a bit more mixed. In maths, 75% of pupils hit the expected standard and the average scaled score of 104 is bang on the national benchmark. Reading is similar, with 72% at the expected level and an average score of 105. Writing lags a little behind at 64% expected, and only 18% of pupils reached the higher standard in maths, with 28% doing so in reading. The school’s national ranking on the combined measure puts it in the bottom half of all primaries, but within Yorkshire and the Humber it sits almost exactly at the median.
