About Bishop Creighton Academy

Bishop Creighton Academy, a state primary in Peterborough, delivers Key Stage 2 results that sit comfortably above the local authority average. In the 2023/24 academic year, 63% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Peterborough average of 59%. That places the school 20th out of 53 primaries in the area, putting it in the top 40% of its local peers. The school is also oversubscribed: for 30 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 58 total applications, with 28 first-preference offers made. That ratio of nearly two applicants per place suggests parents in the area see it as a solid, reliable option rather than a flashy outlier.
