The Tyrrells School
Chelmsford, CM1 6JN · Essex · primary school
58th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.3/10 against 4,266 of them, against 8.4/10 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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, 80.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 13.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2025. 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 (8.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join chess, construction, LEGO, and science clubs, play football, netball, gymnastics, dodgeball, or run, and participate in choir and dance.
Getting in. The school has 421 pupils in a capacity of 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 1. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the single place over capacity for new admissions? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How do parents arrange care before and after school hours, given there is no breakfast or after-school club?
