Park Primary School
About Park Primary School
Park Primary School sits in the middle of the pack in Newham, with 70% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 — slightly below the local authority average of 74%. That four-point gap places the school 37th out of 61 primaries in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of its local peers. But headline averages don't tell the full story here. The school's maths average score of 106 and reading average of 107 both sit comfortably above the national benchmark of 100, and a closer look at the higher-standard figures shows that 35% of pupils achieved above the expected level in reading, 34% in writing and 27% in maths. That's a respectable showing for a school where a quarter of pupils (25.7%) are eligible for free school meals, suggesting that while overall attainment lags the LA average, the school is stretching a meaningful proportion of its cohort.
