Every child who put Kingston Park Academy 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

Kingston Park Academy is a primary school serving Worksop, Nottinghamshire, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. It has 213 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. 76% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 14.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 14% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 16% 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 Kingston Park Academy their first choice was offered one of its 31 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 7.1%. There are about 20.5 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 46% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Kingston Park Academy 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.
