Check the area around this school
53rd of 58 primary schools in Milton Keynes we can score, 90 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,909 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.7/10 among them, against 1.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 49.0 · 17 | 40% | 0.69 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Green Park School
Overview
Green Park School continues to be a good school, providing an inclusive and vibrant environment where pupils feel happy, safe, and motivated. The report highlights high expectations, excellent behaviour, and strong community links as key features of the school’s culture.
Strengths
- Pupils “behave extremely well” and embody values of “respect, positivity, integrity, aspiration, empathy, and equality”.
- The curriculum is largely “ambitious and well sequenced”, with learning broken into “smaller, precise steps” to support all pupils, including those with SEND.
- Staff use assessment effectively to identify knowledge gaps, particularly in the “systematic teaching of phonics”, helping pupils catch up.
- Relationships between pupils and staff are “warm, trusting and respectful”, creating a “calm and purposeful” atmosphere.
- Staff are “enthused to work here” due to leaders’ consideration of workload and well-being.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, the curriculum is “not as well sequenced” and assessment is “not always precise”, meaning pupils are not learning as well as they could.
- Persistent absence among the “most vulnerable groups of pupils” remains high, preventing them from fully benefiting from school.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
