Our vision at Chase Bridge is for all children to excel at learning, express their talents and care for others. We are a thriving, multi-award winning, three form entry Community Primary and Nursery School in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames situated next to the Allianz Stadium, Twickenham with onsite parking.

We provide a learning environment where children feel secure, are confident and at the same time, challenged to explore and understand the world around them. Our aim is for the children to achieve their full potential; be safe and happy; develop a love of learning; and the skills of independence to make informed choices.

We place huge importance on the emotional wellbeing of our staff, children and our wider community. Having achieved our Attachment Aware Schools Award, we take great pride in our appointed role as MHST Cluster Lead where we work in partnership with primary, secondary and special schools from across Richmond impacting over 7000 children and staff.

In March 2025, we were judged as Outstanding in all areas by Ofsted:

Quality of education: Outstanding
Behaviour and attitudes: Outstanding
Personal development: Outstanding
Leadership and management: Outstanding
Early years provision: Outstanding

The inspection report captures the heart of what makes Chase Bridge exceptional: “Pupils work together to fulfil the school’s vision to ‘be ready, be safe, be respectful’. Pupils demonstrate excellent behaviour and delight in supporting each other.” Our children thrive not just academically, but also personally and socially, benefiting from a wealth
of extracurricular and leadership opportunities, including clubs in chess, coding, magic and music, as well as involvement in ambassador roles across the school.

Our school community is vibrant and diverse, united by a shared ethos of Caring for Others, Nurturing Talents and Excelling at Learning. These core values shape every aspect of school life.
