About The Park Primary School

The Park Primary School sits within the South Gloucestershire local authority, a large area with 93 primary schools, only five of which hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted.

Among its local peers, the top-performing schools by ranking score are Hambrook Primary School (97), Marshfield Church of England Primary School (88), and Frampton Cotterell Church of England Primary School (84).
