Check the area around this school
19th of 54 primary schools in North Lincolnshire we can score, 62 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.0/10 against 348 of them, against 5.6/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 40% | 1.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
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 Oasis Academy Parkwood
Overview
Oasis Academy Parkwood has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at its previous inspection. The school is described as being “at the heart of its community,” fostering a “family friendly ethos” through strong relationships with parents and pupils. It provides a “calm and safe environment” where pupils behave exceptionally well and enjoy learning.
Strengths
- The school implements the trust’s curriculum effectively, enabling pupils to “regularly revisit and build upon prior learning” and make connections to existing knowledge.
- Staff identify and support the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) “extremely well,” adapting learning carefully so these pupils can access the intended curriculum.
- The teaching of reading is prioritised successfully, with most pupils gaining a “confident grasp of phonics” by the end of key stage 1 and receiving high-quality support if needed.
- Pupils demonstrate “high expectations” in behaviour and engage positively in leadership roles, such as “health champions” and “mini SLT,” which boosts their confidence and independence.
- Attendance is high due to careful review and close work with families, ensuring pupils understand that being at school “helps them to learn more.”
Areas to improve
- The school must further develop strategies for reviewing the impact of the curriculum on pupils’ learning in foundation subjects, as it currently “does not know if the broader curriculum is having the intended impact.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
