About West Chinnock Church School

West Chinnock Church School’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated the school Inadequate overall, a significant drop from its previous Good rating in 2011. The inspection gave the lowest possible marks for quality of education, early years provision, and leadership and management, all graded 4 (Inadequate). Behaviour and attitudes, along with personal development, were judged as Requires improvement. This is a small primary school with just 41 pupils on roll, well below its capacity of 60, and the data suggests that academic outcomes are a serious concern. The school’s most informative exam metric is its Key Stage 2 performance, which sits below the local authority average of 59 points. For a school of this size, individual pupil results can swing the overall picture dramatically, but the Ofsted report makes clear that the quality of teaching and curriculum delivery needs urgent attention.
