Chancel Primary School
Rugeley, WS15 2EW · Staffordshire · primary school
24th 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 — 8.3/10 against 3,875 of them, against 7.8/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 62% | 4.35 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 19.0 · 90 | 38% | 3.48 |
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, 72.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 19.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Choir, Homework Club, and Art Club, take instrument lessons, and attend performances. Trips include visits to the Botanical Gardens in Birmingham, Standon Bowers, The Great Imagining, Laches Wood Outdoor Education Centre, Rugeley Fire Station, RAF Cosford, and the Birmingham Think Tank. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 210 pupils in a school with 210 places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage admissions when demand exceeds the 210 available places? What support is offered to pupils who need help with homework outside of the dedicated club? How are the various trips, such as the outdoor education visit, organised for parents who cannot provide transport?
