Chantlers Primary School
About Chantlers Primary School
Chantlers Primary School sits third out of 46 primary schools in Bury, placing it firmly in the top 10 per cent locally and nationally. Its headline metric — the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — stands at 85 per cent, a full 21 points above the Bury local authority average of 64 per cent. That gap is significant and consistent across individual subjects: 91 per cent of pupils hit the expected standard in reading, 88 per cent in maths and 85 per cent in writing. The school also pushes well beyond the baseline, with 44 per cent of children reaching the higher standard in reading and 41 per cent in maths, though the combined higher figure drops to 12 per cent. Average scaled scores of 108 in both reading and maths reinforce the picture of a school where most children are working comfortably above the national benchmark. For parents comparing options, this is a school that clearly outperforms its local peers on the core academic measure.
