Chenies School
Rickmansworth, WD3 6ER · Buckinghamshire · primary school
79th of 142 primary schools in Buckinghamshire we can score, 184 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.0/10 against 4,194 of them, against 8.2/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 74.0 · 76 | 40% | 3.02 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 21.0 · 93 | 25% | 2.32 |
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, 74.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 21.0% reached the higher standard. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.2 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in December 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Ukulele, Nature, Dramatastic, Mini Master Chef, and Forest School clubs, alongside gymnastics and multisports. Music lessons include drums, recorder, French horn, piano, and trumpet. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 49 pupils in a building with 105 places, leaving 56 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 does the school plan to address the "Requires improvement" rating from the 2023 inspection? What specific steps are being taken to improve outcomes in the subjects where 74.0% met the expected standard? How does the school support pupils during the lunchtime period, given the absence of an after-school club?
