Histon and Impington Park Primary School

Cambridge, CB24 9AQ · Cambridgeshire · primary school

Ofsted: Outstanding · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
8.5/10 Well above average

6th of 197 primary schools in Cambridgeshire we can score, 210 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.4/10 against 4,198 of them, against 8.0/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 85.0 · 94 40% 3.75
Ofsted 96 35% 3.37
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 8.0 · 57 25% 1.43

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 85.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in July 2024. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.0 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Code Club, MathsFit, Spanish, Art & Craft, and Jungle Yoga clubs. Sports include Cross Country, Netball, Rugby Tots, and Triathlon. Arts and music options cover Choir, Violin lessons, and Dance. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 403 pupils against a capacity of 420, leaving 17 spare places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 17 places remaining? What specific support is offered to the 8.0% of pupils aiming for the higher standard? How are the various clubs scheduled to ensure they do not conflict with core learning time?
