Every child who put Parkway Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

School overview

Parkway Primary School is a primary school serving Erith, Bexley, classified by the DfE as a community school. It has 245 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. 24% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 26.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 101 in reading and 100 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 3% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Parkway Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 18 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 5.6%. There are about 11.3 pupils per teacher. Parkway Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
