Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

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

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

About Park Grove Primary Academy

Park Grove Primary Academy is a primary school in York, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 264 pupils aged 5 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 65% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 8.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 8% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Park Grove Primary Academy was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 33 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 5.4%. There are about 20.6 pupils per teacher. Park Grove Primary 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.
