About Chadwell Primary School

Chadwell Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit below the Redbridge local authority average, which is a notable point for parents to weigh up. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 74%, while Chadwell’s figure is 68%. That six-point gap places the school 34th out of 50 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom third locally. In a competitive area like Redbridge, where 12 schools hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating, Chadwell’s ranking is a clear signal that its academic outcomes are not among the strongest. However, the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025 judged it Good across all areas, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. That suggests the school is providing a solid, well-managed education even if its headline test scores don’t match the top performers in the borough.
