About Chase Side Primary School

Chase Side Primary School is a popular choice among Enfield families, with 37 first-preference applications for just 40 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. The school was oversubscribed overall, receiving 129 applications for those 40 spots, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.23. This level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though the school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage in its data.

Headteacher Melanie Scull leads a school of 382 pupils, which is below its capacity of 450. Over a third of pupils (37 per cent) are eligible for free school meals, reflecting a diverse intake. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, the school was rated Good overall, with Good marks for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This was a notable improvement from its previous 2018 inspection, where it was rated Requires Improvement.
