Chestnut Park Primary
About Chestnut Park Primary
Chestnut Park Primary received the highest possible rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in February 2024, with inspectors awarding Outstanding across every single category: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That puts the school in a very select group — only four out of 64 primary schools in North Somerset hold an Outstanding rating. But the most telling academic metric is the school's Key Stage 2 performance. Chestnut Park achieved a combined reading, writing and maths score of 74, which is comfortably above the local authority average of 61. For a small school with just 154 pupils on roll, that level of consistency is striking. It suggests that the school's approach to teaching and learning is working well across the board, not just for a handful of high achievers.
