About Lee Chapel Primary School

Lee Chapel Primary School is a primary school in Basildon, Essex, classified by the DfE as an academy converter. Around 1,068 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. The school holds an 'Outstanding' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 85% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That is down 3.0 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 among the top 2% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 111 in reading and 110 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 46% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so 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.
