Welcome to Chancel Primary School

On behalf of the children, staff, and governors, I warmly welcome you to Chancel Primary School. We are a small school with a big heart, and we believe that our close-knit community creates a special place to be.

As the proud Headteacher of our wonderful school, I feel privileged to lead a team dedicated to creating a positive and inclusive learning environment, where every child can thrive and reach their full potential. It is important to us that every child enjoys school, feels safe and has a sense of belonging.

This was recognised in our most recent Ofsted Inspection (March 2025) when we secured ‘good’ in all areas and ‘outstanding’ in Early Years. Ofsted commented:

“Pupils thrive and achieve well at this happy and nurturing school. The school is ambitious and wants the very best for pupils. Pupils are at the heart of everything. Pupils love coming to school and say it is their happy and safe place.”

It is my pleasure to invite you to explore our website and discover more about the amazing things happening at Chancel.

Mrs R Palmer (Headteacher)
