About Chawson First School

Chawson First School received a Requires Improvement rating from Ofsted in its most recent inspection, which took place in 2024. This marks a change from its previous inspection in 2015, when the school was rated Good overall. The latest inspection judged the school on a new framework, and while the overall effectiveness was not graded, the quality of education, early years provision, and leadership and management were all rated as Requires Improvement. On a more positive note, inspectors rated both behaviour and attitudes and personal development as Good. The school’s most informative exam metric is its Key Stage 2 performance, where 61% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. This figure is exactly in line with the local authority average for Worcestershire, suggesting that while the school is not yet delivering outstanding academic outcomes, it is performing broadly in line with other primary schools in the area.
