About Wimbledon Chase Primary School

Wimbledon Chase Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, though its previous inspection in 2012 judged it Outstanding. The current report shows a nuanced picture: while overall effectiveness and leadership are Good, the school still achieves Outstanding marks for early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes. On the key academic metric for primary schools — the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — Wimbledon Chase scores 79%, which places it 9th out of 42 primary schools in Merton. That puts it comfortably in the top quarter of schools nationally, and well above the Merton local authority average of 68%. The school’s ranking score of 79 is a strong showing, though it sits behind local peers like Benedict Academy and Park Academy, which both score higher.
