Check the area around this school
30th of 53 primary schools in Bath and North East Somerset we can score, 63 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 the 3,547 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.7/10 among them, against 4.6/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 42% | 1.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 32% | 1.68 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 26% | 1.16 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Chandag Primary School
Overview
Chandag Infant School continues to be a good school, where leaders and staff are ambitious for all pupils. The curriculum inspires and challenges learners, preparing them well for the next stage in their education through a focus on resilience and personal development. Pupils love learning and feel safe, supported by staff who ‘genuinely care about the children’.
Strengths
- Teachers are well trained to deliver phonics, helping pupils develop a ‘secure knowledge of phonics’ through clear structures and extra practice.
- Staff skilfully use ‘smart cookie words’ from carefully chosen books to successfully grow pupils’ vocabulary and reading comprehension.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make good progress due to close collaboration with the SENDCo.
- Trustees and governors share the school’s ambitions and have developed the necessary understanding to challenge leaders effectively.
- Staff ensure pupils know the difference between bullying and falling out, and pupils are confident that staff will resolve any issues.
Areas to improve
- Subject leaders need to identify key concepts pupils must know and remember across the curriculum, particularly in history, to ensure knowledge is built over time.
- Teachers must consistently use correct mathematical vocabulary, as this expectation is not yet uniformly applied.
- Leaders need to monitor the impact of the new mathematics curriculum on pupils’ knowledge and progress.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff well trained to spot concerns and leaders quick to support families in need.
