About Parklea Primary School

Parklea Primary School’s headline metrics paint a mixed picture when set against the Luton local authority average. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 62 per cent, Parklea’s figure sits at 45 per cent, placing it 36th out of 37 primary schools in the borough. That puts the school in the bottom 50 per cent nationally, with a ranking score of 45. However, the school’s average scores in reading and maths both come in at 102, which is in line with the national average of 100, suggesting that while fewer pupils are hitting the combined benchmark, those who do are performing solidly. The proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in maths is 16 per cent, and in reading it is 13 per cent, though no pupils achieved the higher standard in writing. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2024 rated it Good overall, with Good across every category including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership. That represents a consistent performance compared with its previous Good rating in 2018.
