About Parkside Primary School

Parkside Primary School’s headline metrics present a mixed picture against the Waltham Forest average for primary schools. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 66%, which is notably below the local authority average of 74%. This places the school 40th out of 52 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom quarter locally. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In reading and maths, 78% of pupils met the expected standard in each, and average scaled scores of 105 in reading and 104 in maths are both above the national benchmark of 100. The school’s ranking within London is around the 64th percentile, and nationally it sits just below the midpoint, suggesting a solid but not standout performer relative to the wider country.
