29th of 60 primary schools in Walsall we can score, 85 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 — 5.8/10 against 1,435 of 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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 Chuckery Primary School
Overview
Chuckery Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a "harmonious school with happy pupils." Leaders successfully embrace the cultural richness of the community, ensuring that pupils from diverse backgrounds, including those speaking English as an additional language, are well supported and thrive. The school maintains high standards of behaviour and provides a welcoming ethos where bullying is rare.
Strengths
- Behaviour is "very strong," with consistent staff expectations resulting in infrequent poor behaviour and rare low-level disruption.
- The curriculum is "ambitious and exciting," with pupils achieving well, particularly in reading and mathematics.
- Reading provision is inclusive and effective, featuring early phonics instruction, accurate assessment, and resources like Braille and audiobooks for pupils with visual impairments.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "very well supported," with staff using scaffolding and small steps to help them overcome barriers to learning.
- Staff feel valued, noting that leaders and governors make time for them and actively consider workload through a well-being working group.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, leaders have not identified the "precise knowledge that pupils need to learn as they progress," meaning work does not always build on prior knowledge or prepare pupils for future learning.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
