About Parklands Community Primary School

Parklands Community Primary School sits in the middle of the pack when it comes to West Sussex primary schools, with a local authority ranking that places it 106th out of 226 schools of the same type. Its headline Key Stage 2 metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — stands at 53%, which is three percentage points below the LA average of 56%. That gap is modest but worth noting, especially for parents comparing schools in the Chichester area. The school's overall ranking score of 53 puts it in the bottom 50% nationally, though within Chichester itself it ranks 17th out of 38 schools, suggesting it performs respectably against immediate neighbours. The most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 confirmed the school 'remains Good', a rating it has held consistently across inspections dating back to 2011. Leadership and management, early years provision and overall effectiveness were all graded Good in the last graded inspection in 2014, and the ungraded visit in 2023 found no reason to change that judgement.
