Park Primary School
About Park Primary School
Park Primary School in Rushmoor is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, currently home to 190 children against a capacity of 212. That leaves a little breathing room, but demand tells a different story: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 53 applications for 30 places, with 29 of those as first preferences. Only 26 first-preference offers were made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 77. The school’s intake is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage — 46. 3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average and a clear signal of the community it serves. Headteacher Emma Grant leads a school that has held a Good rating from Ofsted across its most recent graded inspection in 2019 and its ungraded inspection in October 2024, though the latter noted that some aspects were not as strong.
