About Chandlers Ridge Academy

Chandlers Ridge Academy, a state primary in Middlesbrough, was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2016. The school now holds Good across all five inspected categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined expected standard in reading, writing and maths, where 75% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That is well above the Middlesbrough local authority average of 62%, placing the school 9th out of 37 primaries in the area and in the top 25% nationally. This strong showing suggests a school that has turned around its performance and is now delivering solid, above-average outcomes for its pupils.
