About Chaddesley Corbett Endowed Primary School

Chaddesley Corbett Endowed Primary School sits in a tricky spot when you compare its headline Key Stage 2 results against the Worcestershire local authority average. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 41%, which is a full 20 percentage points below the LA average of 61%. That gap is significant and places the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, ranking 99th out of 180 similar schools in the county. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading scores are notably stronger, with 72% of pupils hitting the expected standard and 31% reaching the higher standard, while maths sits at 59% expected and 14% higher. Writing is the weakest area, with just 62% at expected and only 3% at the higher level. The school’s average scaled scores of 105 in reading and 102 in maths suggest that while many children are meeting the basics, fewer are stretching beyond them compared with peers across Worcestershire.

The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2025 rated it Good across all areas, including behaviour, personal development and early years provision, though the overall effectiveness was not judged this time. This is consistent with its previous Good rating from 2019. Parent feedback is overwhelmingly positive, with 93% of respondents saying they would recommend the school. In the Parent View survey, 93% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 93% felt their child is safe. On SEND support, 92% of parents agreed that the school provides the help needed, and 67% strongly agreed. The school has a broad range of SEND provisions, including a SEN unit and support for autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language needs, and physical disabilities. The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26, with 48 applications for 30 places and 32 first-preference applications, indicating strong local demand despite the middling academic outcomes.

Chaddesley Corbett Endowed Primary School is a village primary in the Wyre Forest area, with a nursery provision for children from age two and a capacity of 250 pupils, currently at 251. Facilities include a dining hall, gymnasium, playing fields, ICT suite, library and a sensory room. Sports on offer include rounders, cricket, gymnastics, swimming and football, while clubs range from drama and choir to chess, eco club and gardening. The school has a mixed gender intake and no religious character. For families who prioritise a strong sense of community, positive behaviour and a wide range of pastoral and SEND support, this school clearly delivers. However, parents whose main concern is academic attainment at the end of primary school may want to look more closely at the KS2 data, particularly in writing and maths, and consider whether the school’s strengths in personal development and pupil happiness outweigh the below-average academic outcomes compared with the rest of Worcestershire.
