Chalkwell Hall Junior School

School overview

In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 72% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 18% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 12% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Chalkwell Hall Junior 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 further down the page.
