About Park Junior School

Park Junior School in Stroud is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, and the first thing most parents will want to know is how other families rate their experience. Unfortunately, the school does not publish a Parent View recommendation percentage, so that particular signal is absent from the data. What we do have is an oversubscription picture: the school has a capacity of 240 pupils but currently enrols just 169, meaning it is operating at roughly 70 per cent of its capacity. That suggests there is plenty of room for new starters, and the school is not currently oversubscribed. For context, the local authority of Gloucestershire has 243 primary schools in total, and Park Junior ranks 195th among them, placing it firmly in the lower half of the county’s primary provision. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Woodchester Endowed Church of England Aided Primary School, about 4.7 kilometres away.
