About Chase Lane Primary School

Chase Lane Primary School in Waltham Forest holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2013 and confirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2022. The school’s academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year, where 74% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure exactly matches the local authority average for Waltham Forest, placing the school in a solid middle-ground position. It ranks 26th out of 48 primary schools in the borough, sitting in the top 54% locally, and nationally it falls within the top 22% of all schools. This is a significant improvement from its previous Ofsted inspection in 2010, when the school was rated Requires Improvement, with leadership and management and overall effectiveness both scoring a 3.
