Chilton Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 June 2025

This is a school that places no limits on what pupils can achieve, both academically and personally. Exceptionally kind and respectful relationships between staff and pupils are the hallmark of daily routines. Around school, pupils share cheerful smiles and waves with friends and staff, creating a welcoming and inclusive community where they feel safe. Pupils' impeccable behaviour, highly positive attitudes to learning and strong social and collaborative skills contribute to this uplifting atmosphere. Each morning, pupils arrive with enthusiasm, eager to begin their day. As part of 'wake and shake', they literally dance happily, to music, into school. This sets a joyful tone for learning. The school fosters a deep love of learning, which is reflected in pupils' high attendance rates. Across subjects, pupils excel academically and achieve exceptionally well. They are very well prepared for the next stage of their education. From the early years, children are eager learners who engage positively with their friends and staff. Pupils contribute extensively to their school community through leadership roles, such as 'thrive ambassadors' and sports leaders. They recognise the value of these responsibilities and how they help make the school an even better place. A palpable ethos of care and teamwork pervades here.
