Chandag Junior School takes pupils from 7–11years old. It is slightly larger than the average junior school. Most of the pupils at the school attended the adjacent infant school. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is well below average, as is the proportion funded through the pupil premium (additional funding provided by the government for those eligible for free school meals, for looked-after children and for those who are part of Service families). The proportion of pupils who are supported at school action and school action plus is slightly above average, and a number have moderate learning difficulties. The proportion of pupils who have a statement of special educational needs is below average. Most pupils come from a White British background, while the rest come from a range of backgrounds. Very few pupils do not speak English as their first language. The school meets the government’s floor targets, which set minimum expectations for attainment and progress. The headteacher provides support for other schools in the local authority; three subject leaders act as lead teachers in the local authority.
