Queen’s Park Primary is currently performing at a level that requires improvement across several key areas, notably the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. Following recent changes in leadership and staffing, there have been positive initial steps taken towards improving the school's overall provision. However, these changes are still in the early stages, leading to variability in implementation and overall pupil performance that falls short of expectations. Despite some disruptions in the past, there is a sense of optimism among staff and an eagerness to enhance the learning environment and support systems for pupils, particularly those with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND).
