About Chingford CofE Primary School

Ofsted's Parent View survey, based on responses from 90 parents between September 2024 and September 2025, shows that 84% would recommend Chingford CofE Primary School. That's a strong vote of confidence, and it's backed up by the detail: 92% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 96% felt their child is safe. The school is clearly popular locally, too. For the 2025/26 reception intake, it received 172 applications for just 55 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.13 to one. All 52 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but with that level of demand, it's a school you'd want to have high on your list. Parents also gave high marks for behaviour, with 87% agreeing the school ensures pupils are well-behaved, and for personal development, where 76% felt the school supports their child's wider growth.
