141st of 217 primary schools in Staffordshire we can score, 310 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 — 4.3/10 against 2,152 of them, against 3.7/10 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 | 61.0 · 41 | 40% | 1.65 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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 Chase Terrace Primary School
Overview
Chase Terrace Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The report describes a school where staff put pupils’ needs at the heart of their work, fostering "warm and purposeful relationships" that help children feel safe and happy. Pupils achieve well across the curriculum, supported by teachers with "very good subject knowledge" and a strong focus on reading and phonics.
Strengths
- Pupils achieve well in reading, writing, and mathematics, with teachers making "meaningful links across subjects" to deepen understanding.
- Phonics teaching is a high priority, resulting in pupils who learn to read "accurately and fluently by the end of Year 1".
- Children get off to a "great start in the early years" due to skilled teachers who identify precise next steps in learning.
- The school supports pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) very well, helping them become independent learners.
- Behaviour is good, with pupils being "kind to each other" and showing respect, supported by clear expectations and positive relationships.
Areas to improve
- The school must continue to work with families to improve attendance, as "too many pupils are absent too regularly".
- Record-keeping for contact with external safeguarding agencies needs strengthening to ensure all staff are aware of concerns and resolutions.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, although the school occasionally fails to record when it engages with external agencies, which affects how well concerns are shared with staff.
