About Terling Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School

Terling Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School is a primary school in Chelmsford, Essex, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Church of England religious character. Around 106 pupils aged 5 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 57% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 14.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 41% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 14% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 8% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
