About East Bridgford St Peters Church of England Academy

East Bridgford St Peters Church of England Academy sits slightly above the Nottinghamshire local authority average for primary schools in its most recent Key Stage 2 results. The school recorded 64% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 61%. That three-percentage-point gap is modest but consistent across individual subjects: 83% hit the expected level in reading, 89% in writing and 72% in maths. Where the school really stands out is at the higher standard — 14% of pupils achieved the higher benchmark across all three subjects, and 42% did so in reading alone. These figures place the school 104th out of 286 primary schools in Nottinghamshire, and 24th out of 32 schools within the Rushcliffe borough. It’s a solid, above-average performer rather than a standout, but the reading results in particular suggest strong literacy teaching.

The school’s Ofsted rating of Good, awarded in 2022, reflects a mixed picture. Personal development was judged Outstanding, which aligns with the school’s Church of England character and its range of clubs and activities — from Eco Club and choir to chess and drama. Behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management, and the quality of education were all rated Good, while early years provision also came in at Good. That’s a step down from the school’s previous inspection in 2007, when it was rated Outstanding overall, but the 2022 report is now several years old and the school has held steady at Good since. The Progress 8 scores for reading, writing and maths are not available in the data, so it’s hard to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points, but the raw attainment figures are reassuring.

With 271 pupils against a capacity of 294, the school is nearly full, and it was oversubscribed for 2025/26 admissions: 78 families applied for 28 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.79. All 28 first-preference applicants were offered a place, so if you live close enough to be in catchment, your chances are strong. Facilities include a Forest School, ICT suite, gymnasium, playing fields and a chapel, and the school offers a wide range of sports from gymnastics and tennis to swimming and cross country. SEND provision covers specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, speech and language needs, hearing impairment and physical disability. This is a good fit for families who want a church school with strong reading outcomes, a broad extracurricular offer, and a personal development focus that Ofsted rates as outstanding.
