Why Chadwell St Mary Primary School?
Chadwell St Mary is a very happy, welcoming school with a positive ethos and a commitment to offering outstanding learning opportunities for all children on roll. We are ambitious for our pupils and know that the experiences they have at school will shape their futures. All of our staff, parents and pupils are actively involved in school improvement as important stakeholders.

In November 2024, Ofsted inspectors reaffirmed the high quality of education, care and support that our school provides for your children every day. The inspection team indicated that our school is on a strong trajectory towards achieving an Outstanding rating in our next graded inspection. This means that they have recognised the exceptional progress and high standards we are delivering across all areas of school life. Their confidence in us is incredibly encouraging, and we will continue striving for excellence to ensure that we reach this milestone.

Pupils are rightly proud of their school. They are happy because they learn in a kind and orderly community. The school is ambitious for all pupils. Staff have very high expectations of pupils' behaviour and learning. As a result, pupils have exemplary relationships with each other, and many achieve very well.

Respect, responsibility and resilience are embedded every day. Adults remind pupils about these values regularly. Consequently, pupils understand them and live them. They respect everyone they meet and aim high in all they do. Pupils feel safe here. They know adults care about them. In return, pupils trust and listen to their teachers. They understand this helps to keep them safe as well as to learn.
