About Chaddlewood Primary School

Chaddlewood Primary School is clearly a popular choice among Plymouth families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 114 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.9. Every one of those 60 places went to a first-preference applicant, which suggests that most families who put it top of their list were successful. While the school doesn't publish a formal parent recommendation percentage, the sheer demand is a strong signal of local satisfaction. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no religious character. It currently has 380 pupils on roll, slightly below its capacity of 420, and 14.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is close to the national average for primary schools.
