Strengths
- “Chesterton Primary School is a small school where leaders and staff get to know pupils and their families well.”
- “Leaders ensure that pupils are ‘learning, growing and achieving’.”
- “To fulfil this motto, leaders have established high expectations of all pupils.”
To improve
- “However, pupils do not achieve as well as expected at the end of Year 6 in national tests in mathematics.”
- “Recent results have been affected by a significant number of pupils joining the school in Years 5 and 6 with gaps in their mathematical knowledge.”
- “While the school addressed many of these gaps, there was insufficient time to address all of them, resulting in lower outcomes in 2025.”
