About Chesterton Primary School

Chesterton Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit exactly on the Cambridgeshire local authority average of 58% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. That places it in the middle of the pack for a state primary in Cambridge, though its local ranking of 19th out of 26 schools in the city suggests a more mixed picture when you zoom in on the immediate area. The school’s 2023/24 SATs scores show a notable split: reading is a clear strength, with 88% of pupils hitting the expected level and 25% reaching the higher standard, while maths lags behind at 67% expected and 21% higher. Writing sits in between at 75% expected. Only 8% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, which is below what you might hope for given the reading results. The school is rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2015, and an ungraded inspection in March 2025 confirmed that standards are being maintained.
