Chrishall Holy Trinity and St Nicholas CofE (Aided) Primary School and Pre-School
Royston, SG8 8QE · Essex · primary school
68th of 391 primary schools in Essex we can score, 444 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 1,405 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.3/10 among them, against 7.9/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 18.0 · 89 | 25% | 2.23 |
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, 73.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 18.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.3 out of 10 among them, against 7.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Invasion Games Sports Club, Summer Multi Sports, Lunchtime Football, and Tennis & Football Coaching. They compete in a football league, athletics, and cross country. Trips include Aylmerton Field Study Centre, Fellowship Afloat, Tollesbury, Danbury Outdoors Centre, and rafham Water Centre. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club operate.
Getting in. The school has 124 pupils against a capacity of 105, meaning it is over capacity by 19. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How are the various sports clubs scheduled to avoid conflicts with academic lessons?
