About Parkway Primary School

Parkway Primary School in Bexley was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, a notable improvement from its previous rating of Requires Improvement. The school's leadership and management, as well as its early years provision, were also judged to be Good. However, the most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: only 50% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. This places the school 48th out of 55 primary schools in Bexley, putting it in the bottom half of the local authority. For context, the Bexley local authority average for the same combined measure is 67%, meaning Parkway trails the typical local school by a significant margin. The school's ranking in London is similarly low, sitting in the 92nd percentile nationally, which suggests that while it is a Good school by Ofsted's standards, its academic outcomes are not keeping pace with many of its neighbours.
