About Park Junior School, Wellingborough

Park Junior School in Wellingborough has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s strongest academic indicator comes from its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 year, where 63% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits just above the North Northamptonshire local authority average of 61%, placing the school 41st out of 90 primary schools in the area. In terms of individual subjects, reading saw 81% of pupils reach the expected level and 25% achieve a higher standard, while maths and writing both had 75% of pupils meeting expectations. The average scaled scores of 105 in reading and 104 in maths suggest solid, if not exceptional, attainment. The school’s national ranking places it in the middle of the pack, around the 49th percentile, which reflects a steady, reliable academic offering rather than a standout one.
