About The Tyrrells School

The Tyrrells School in Chelmsford holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2019, and an ungraded inspection in January 2025 noted that the school has improved significantly since then. On the key academic metric for primary schools, the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined was 82% in the 2023/24 academic year. That is well above the Essex local authority average of 62% and places the school 4th out of 41 primary schools in the Chelmsford area, comfortably inside the top 10 nationally. In individual subjects, 94% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, 90% in reading and 85% in writing. The school also performs strongly at the higher standard, with 19% of pupils achieving that level across all three subjects. Average scaled scores in reading and maths both sit at 109, a solid result that reflects consistent teaching across the core curriculum.
