About Chickerell Primary Academy

Chickerell Primary Academy, a state primary in Dorset, received a Good rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement. The school’s most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stood at 50% in the 2023/24 academic year. This figure sits below the Dorset local authority average of 56%, placing the school 41st out of 68 primary schools in the area. Breaking down the individual subjects, 68% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, 62% in writing and 63% in maths. The average scaled scores were 104 for reading and 102 for maths, both slightly above the national benchmark of 100. The school’s ranking in the bottom half of the national league table for this combined measure reflects a mixed picture, though the data also shows that 2% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects.
