From Ofsted report, inspected Apr 2025

Strengths

  • “Pupils are incredibly proud members of the St Peter’s community.”
  • “They rightly describe their school as welcoming and inclusive.”
  • “Pupils are very happy and enjoy school.”

To improve

  • “In some foundation subjects, the crucial knowledge that pupils need to learn and remember has not been clearly defined.”
  • “All of this reduces how well pupils are able to build up a deep body of knowledge.”
  • “On occasions, the school’s checks on pupils’ learning and understanding are not robust.”
