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

Every child who put Park Road Community 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.

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

School overview

Park Road Community Primary School is a primary school serving Warrington, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 209 pupils aged 5 to 11 on roll. 81% 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 9.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 27% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 6% 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 Park Road Community Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 27 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 3.8%. There are about 22.7 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 9% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Park Road Community 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.
