About Duddon St Peter's CofE Primary School

Duddon St Peter's CofE Primary School sits well below the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with just 44% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with 61% across Cheshire West and Chester. This places the school in the bottom half of primary schools in the LA, ranked 92nd out of 110. The school's overall ranking score of 44 puts it firmly in the bottom 50% nationally too. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading and maths both hit a 67% expected standard, which is closer to the LA norm, and the average scaled scores of 103 in reading and 101 in maths are respectable. The real drag comes from writing, where only 44% of pupils met expectations, and no child achieved the higher standard in either writing or maths. The school is small, with just 73 pupils on roll against a capacity of 126, so these percentages represent very small numbers of children.
