About Park Street CofE Primary School

Park Street CofE Primary School in Cambridge holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. In its 2023 graded inspection, inspectors awarded Good marks across every category, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The most telling academic metric for this Church of England primary is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score of 71 per cent. That figure places the school comfortably above the local authority average of 58 per cent for similar schools, and ranks it 7th out of 26 primary schools in Cambridge. In the East of England region, it sits in the top 25 per cent of schools, and nationally it ranks in the top 28 per cent. With just 116 pupils on a capacity of 125, the school is small enough that individual results can shift percentages noticeably, but the pattern here is clearly positive.
