About Chadwell Primary School

In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 60% 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 in the top 32% of primary schools nationally.

Chadwell Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 77 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 5.2%. There are about 22.5 pupils per teacher. Chadwell 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.
