About the school

Chadwell Primary is a successful co-educational county day school for pupils aged 4 to 11 years. 

There are three buildings on the school site to accommodate over 450 pupils, including the Nursery.  There are two Victorian buildings, and one built in the 1930s. 

Adjoining the playground is a field containing a conservation area and pond.  There is an attractive garden area at the front of the school.

We have an extension that houses a library and a Special Needs Resource area.

We believe that children can best develop in a happy, relaxed but purposeful working atmosphere and we aim to create this environment to provide positive conditions for learning.  The school has a code of conduct which is supported by parents, pupils and staff.  Traditional values of respect, a sense of community and good manners are seen as fundamental to the school ethos.  There is a school uniform.

This is a two form entry school, where teachers work closely together as a team, planning in parallel year groups, using school schemes of work and Policies designed to present consistent delivery of the National Curriculum. 

The school is well resourced and curriculum leaders hold a budget and assess the needs of their subject area to ensure this is maintained.

We value and encourage a strong home/school partnership which helps pupils to learn.  We all have an important part to play in this.  We keep parents informed, and involve them both in school and at home to support children's learning.   There is a thriving Parent/Teacher Association.

Extra curricular activities include football, netball, art club, choir and orchestra.  There are also opportunities for children to learn recorder, violin, viola, cello, brasswind, woodwind and piano.  Children are encouraged to take part in extra curricular activities.

'Extended School' childcare facilities are provided through our partnership with Chadwell Pre-School which is very local to the school.  Pre-School staff escort children to school in the morning and collect them at the end of the school day.
