Chadsmead Primary Academy
Lichfield, WS13 7HJ · Staffordshire · primary school
95th of 217 primary schools in Staffordshire we can score, 309 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.8/10 against 2,001 of them, against 5.6/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 69.0 · 63 | 62% | 3.86 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 38% | 1.72 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 69.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Trampolining, Gymnastics, Art, Science, and Beginners Chess clubs. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 200 pupils in a building with 420 places, leaving 220 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How do teachers manage class sizes when the school operates at less than half capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard? How does the school integrate the various clubs into the daily timetable?
