About Peakirk-Cum-Glinton Cofe Primary Academy

Peakirk-Cum-Glinton CofE Primary Academy is a Church of England state primary in Peterborough that currently teaches 220 pupils, slightly above its official capacity of 210. The school draws from a mixed demographic, with 15.1% of pupils eligible for free school meals — a figure that sits below the national average for primary schools but is worth noting in the local context. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 31 applications for just 14 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.21. Of those, 13 were first-preference applications, and 13 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put it first got a spot. That level of competition suggests the school has a solid local reputation, even though its most recent Ofsted inspection rated it Requires Improvement overall. The school offers nursery provision and is mixed-gender for ages 4 to 11, with headteacher Craig Kendall in post.
