About Chalkwell Hall Junior School
Chalkwell Hall Junior School is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11 in Southend-on-Sea, and the numbers suggest it is a school that local families trust. The school is oversubscribed, with a capacity of 450 pupils, which indicates that demand from parents is strong. While the data does not include a specific parent view recommendation percentage, the oversubscription ratio alone is a practical signal of confidence from the community. The school is led by headteacher Andy Newnham and holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its recent inspections. It is a mixed, non-religious school with no nursery or sixth form provision, and it is not a boarding school. For parents weighing up their options, the combination of a Good Ofsted rating and full enrolment points to a school that is meeting local expectations and attracting families from the area.
