Newnham St Peter's Church of England Primary School
About Newnham St Peter's Church of England Primary School
Newnham St Peter's Church of England Primary School sits in the Forest of Dean and, with 133 pupils, is a small village primary. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good across every category, including quality of education, behaviour, and leadership. That consistency is notable, but the school’s headline academic metric is its Key Stage 2 average score, which stands at 59. This is exactly in line with the Gloucestershire local authority average for primary schools, meaning pupils here are performing at the typical level for the area. For a school of this size, matching the LA benchmark is a solid achievement, especially given that only nine of the 243 primary schools in the county have reached the top Ofsted grade of Outstanding. Newnham St Peter’s is not among them, but its Good rating and average KS2 results suggest a reliable, steady academic offering that doesn’t dramatically outshine or underperform its neighbours.
