About Park Road Community Primary School

Park Road Community Primary School in Warrington was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2009. The school’s leadership and management were also judged Good. When it comes to academic outcomes, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 72% did so in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments. That sits above the Warrington local authority average of 69%, placing the school 26th out of 55 primary schools in the area. In the North West region, it ranks 489th out of 2,065 schools, and nationally it sits in the 25th percentile. The school’s overall ranking score of 72 puts it in the top 50 tier of its local authority, though it is some way behind the top three peers in Warrington, which all scored 92 or above.
