About Park End Primary School

Park End Primary School in Middlesbrough holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recent inspections. The school’s real story, however, lies in its academic outcomes. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, just 49% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure is notably below the local authority average of 62% for Middlesbrough, and it places the school 30th out of 37 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, Park End sits in the bottom half of schools on this measure. Drilling into the individual subjects, the picture is mixed: 69% of pupils reached the expected standard in writing, and 64% in reading, but only 63% did so in maths. At the higher standard, the numbers are low — just 5% achieved the higher benchmark across all three subjects.
