Parklee Primary School at a glance

Located in Wigan, Parklee Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. The school educates roughly 348 pupils aged 3 to 11. 56% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 6.0 percentage points year on 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 104 in reading and 103 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 9% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Parklee Primary School is oversubscribed: about 6 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 43 first choices for 30 places. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 0.71 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Parklee 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.
