About The Parks Primary Academy

The Parks Primary Academy in Kingston upon Hull has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in November 2023, a significant step up from its previous Good rating in 2016. The school now holds Outstanding across every category inspected, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management, and early years provision, with personal development rated Good. When it comes to academic outcomes at Key Stage 2, the school’s headline metric is that 58% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits below the local authority average of 65%, placing the school 50th out of 69 primary schools in Kingston upon Hull, in the bottom half of the league table. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects: 71% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, and 69% did so in writing, both closer to the local norm.
