About Parkgate Primary School

Parkgate Primary School in Coventry is a popular choice among local families, with 63% of parents who responded to the Ofsted Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. That recommendation rate sits alongside a clear sign of demand in admissions: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 152 applications for 83 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.83. Of those, 79 families put it as their first preference, and all 79 received offers. The parent survey, based on 38 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, shows particular strength in areas like extracurricular provision — 89% of parents agreed or strongly agreed their child can take part in clubs and activities. Similarly, 79% felt their child does well at the school. However, the picture is more mixed on behaviour and SEND support: only 66% agreed the school ensures pupils are well behaved, and just 36% agreed that children with special educational needs receive the support they need, with 45% strongly disagreeing on that point.
