About Boxted St Peter's Church of England School

Boxted St Peter's Church of England School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, with one standout grade: behaviour and attitudes were judged Outstanding. That judgement aligns with the school's academic story at Key Stage 2, where the most informative metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. At 67%, this sits above the local authority average of 62% for similar schools, placing Boxted St Peter's in the top 50% of primary schools nationally. The school's ranking within Colchester is 25th out of 51, and it sits 154th out of 444 primary schools across Essex. While the combined expected standard is solid, the data also shows that only 3% of pupils achieved the higher standard in all three subjects, which is notably lower than the 27% who reached the higher bar in maths alone.
