About Queens Park Community School

Ofsted’s Parent View survey, based on 221 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, shows that 72% of parents would recommend Queens Park Community School to other families. That’s a solid majority, though it leaves more than a quarter who would not. The school is clearly popular: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 585 applications for 212 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.76, and 183 of the 247 first-preference families were offered a spot. Parents broadly agree their child is happy (83% agree or strongly agree) and feels safe (84% agree or strongly agree). The strongest positive signal is around clubs and activities, where 93% of parents agree their child can take part. However, the picture is more mixed on communication: only 61% agree concerns are dealt with properly, and 35% disagree that the school makes them aware of what their child will learn. For SEND families specifically, 52% disagree that the school gives the support needed, a notable minority.
