Primary schools in Chelmsford
57 primary schools in Chelmsford, sorted by latest Ofsted grade. Grades come from two inspection systems; each school page states which, and the guide explains the difference. A grade shown with a year, like "Good (2019)", is the last one Ofsted published for that school and sorts below current grades. We don't invent rankings. All-through schools, which take pupils from 4 to 18, are listed on both the primary and the secondary page for their town.
