About Chuckery Primary School

Chuckery Primary School’s headline KS2 results sit below the Walsall local authority average, which stands at 61% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. At Chuckery, that figure is 51%, placing the school 46th out of 58 primaries in the borough and in the bottom half nationally. This is a school where the data suggests academic outcomes are a genuine challenge, particularly when compared with local peers like St Anne’s Catholic Primary or Croft Academy, which rank far higher. That said, the picture is not uniformly weak. In writing, 73% of pupils met the expected standard, comfortably above the school’s own combined figure, and 64% did so in both reading and maths. The average scaled scores — 104 in reading and 102 in maths — are close to the national benchmark of 100, indicating that while fewer children are hitting the combined threshold, many are not far off it. The proportion reaching the higher standard is low across all three subjects, with just 4% achieving that level in all three.
