Parkfield Primary School has been rated as good in its first routine inspection since the COVID-19 pandemic. The school fosters a strong sense of community where pupils feel safe and valued. Positive relationships with staff help to create an environment where pupils are motivated and proud to be part of the school, showing good behaviour and respect towards each other.
