The Park Junior School
Mansfield, NG20 8JX · Derbyshire · primary school
179th of 263 primary schools in Derbyshire we can score, 353 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 — 6.2/10 against 1,805 of them, against 5.0/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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, 66.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in September 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils attend a residential trip to Sherwood Forest. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 262 pupils in a capacity of 280, leaving 18 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school plan to address the "Requires improvement" rating from the 2024 inspection? What specific support is available for pupils who did not reach the expected standard? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main curriculum?
