It is asserted by the latest OFSTED governmental report that Chase Bridge Primary School, as of early 2002, is a "good school with many very good features". The school's leadership was praised, in its merits of improving the quality of the students' education, which the report noted was reflected in "well above average standards in Year 6". Similarly the school's performance monitorng systems, and sufficiently demanding nature of work (given to students) were lauded, such that it was inferred that the school "gives good value for money."On the other hand, the report criticizes the teachers' marking in its inconsistency, announcing it to be at that time, "not always helpful in showing pupils how to improve their work," due to lack of standardization, and the different approaches of individual teachers.
