About Holton St Peter Community Primary School
Holton St Peter Community Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths combined: 58% of pupils met the expected standard in the 2023/24 academic year, which is exactly in line with the Suffolk local authority average of 58%. This places the school 42nd out of 72 primary schools in East Suffolk, putting it in the bottom half of the local ranking. Digging deeper, the school performs notably better in reading, where 83% of pupils reached the expected standard and 17% achieved a higher score, compared with maths where 67% met expectations and 17% reached the higher threshold. Writing saw 75% at the expected level but no pupils achieved the higher standard. The average scaled scores were 105 in reading and 103 in maths, both slightly above the national benchmark of 100.
